While at Circus World, Gary Jacobson finally decided to take some time off and where did he go? Off to see some elephants. After all I and others had said about MacDonald he went up to a park in Georgia? where Mack had booked the two small elephants he trained (Toto and Mac) and were being presented by Tommy and Pom Pom Donoho. He brought back these pictures. |

The Mac McDonald truck;
My mother gave me a call while we were touring with Circo Atayde in 1980 and told me that Mac had called and wanted to know if I was still intrested in the straight job truck he had from the elephants. I had already purchased a rig by that time. Mac's truck had less than twenty thousand miles on it and a deal we could not refuse. Joe Zoppe went down and picked it up in San Antonio and returned to Dallas. We stored it for a couple of years and it sure came in handy when my brother joined out on the Red unit. After adding a mom's attic on the box and removing all the bull bars and installing cages and crummie in it,it then became the monkey rig. Erv had to fly in and get to rehearsals so upon completing the truck converstion I delivered it a week or so later to Venice and had a good time camping out there the week getting to agitate Wally Naughtin and The Gunther at winter quarters.
