Arky Scott #6


Scan000010401, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

I remember Mr. Scott's last three wives Helen, Pat and Toni.
This earlier wife appears to be having second thoughts already.

An unknown party typed on the back of this picture:
"When Eugene Scott, animal trainer, got married in 1930, he was wed at Spencer Park in Logansport, Indiana. He and his bride were inside the cage with a snarling tiger.
Note they both keep an eye on the beast during the ceremony."

This is one of my favorite pictures of all time. I put an 8x10 of it on the wall in the elephant barn office and everyone that comes in has to comment on it. Thanks for running it again.

By the look on Mr.Scott face it would lead one to think he had acquired a bit more knowledge since the photo taken with the bear in photo #1

Did the marriage last? That's what I want to know!

This is another chance to ask if anyone knows about Arky's two sons with Toni. I knew both the boys for a time in the Oaks, and would very much like to say hello to them agai. They were very nice boys, and I'll bet they are good men today.
