I pulled Tommy's card and was surprised to find how long it had been since I had updated this stuff.
He, another male and five female elephants were imported by Ben Davenport in 1947 "Charlie", "Tommy", "Mary", "Maude", "Norma", "Bessie" and "Konti".
"Tommy" remained in Diano's ownership until sold to Kenneth Feld in 1986.
He then toured with both Red and Blue Units over the years plus a stint in Japan with the Gold.
I don't have a death date, he died of old age at one of the Ringling retirement facilities.
