Hugo arrived on the Ringling lot June 20, 1947 at Pittsburg, Pa. and seen here six days later in Brunswick, NJ with a newly imported African "Emily" possibly due to his expertise with African elephants. |

Buckles,
What great photo's!!!!! I am grateful to you for sharing them. Possibly Hugo, like many trainer's took one look at Sudan and thought, "That's different. I have never had my hand's on one of those. I wonder what it is all about? I believe I would like to have a go at that."

Of the 25 I brought over from Uganda there was one "Forest/Pymgy elephant in the bunch..dont remember where she was caught? They had her in the boma when I got there..she didnt have any pokers like this one had but her ears were so round and her head like a pin...
