Bill Woodcock and "Major" 1928

Scan000011017, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. I never knew an elephant man that didn't want a big male elephant. My dad continually explained to me about their danger and warned me to have no dealings with them. All of a sudden a young male, less than a year old, was delivered to the Hugo quarters and he couldn't keep his hands off the little fellow. I forget the year but he became the first of many "Oberts". After we left to go on the road we heard that he gotten sick and died. I remember my father saying, "We should have brought him with us".
