Al G. Barnes Tuskers #10

Scan11034, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. I got to know Slim Lewis pretty well from my Polack Show days when we would play Seattle. During our first meeting he spent a lot of time talking about "Tusko" and when he arrived at the moment of his unexpected death, he broke down in tears. At the time I thought it odd that he would be so deeply affected thirty years after the fact but as time passes by and thinking of all the great elephants I have known, I understand him a lot better.
