Buckles,
I think that is Harry Locker on the left of the picture?????
Harry
You are correct Harry Locker.
Damn Paul! Label your pictures.
Buckles,
Harry Locker was another friend of mine I met through Mike Cecere.
Locker gave me a vip tour of the Ringling retirement center in Florida I will never forget.
The first thing was to find it out in the woods and for some one to open all the gates to get in.
What a great time we had and to see King tusk out there.
Harry
Yo soy innocente, nolo conditore ???!
Harry was indeed a great guy! I think the last time we saw him was at the late great Catskill Game Farm where he had, two Africans in his charge, Sheba a big lovely lady, and a very big male with Scotish sounding name (Angus?) who was in musth at the time. I remember Angus(?) in the backyard picking up and tossing around a log that would have required two husky men to carry. Sheba had a bit of an infection around her right tusk (short, near the gum) that Harry had to spray medication into with a large syringe. She didn't like it but she held perfectly still for Harry. The big guy, even though in musth, was well-behaved for Harry. Still miss him.

Paul,
Angus and Sheba were from the Bowmanville Zoo.
