1950's K-M Elephants #3

The African was named "Colonel" after my dad. When we returned to Hugo in the Fall, Freddy had already started putting this five act together and my dad said to me, "If you're going to stay in the elephant business you better go down there to give them a hand to see how it's done!" and I did.
