That's Icky on the far right. she is the hindleg walking elephant in the GSOE.
When Dr Henderson hired me a Winter Quarters I was taking care of 4 Belgians and awhole herd of horses and ponies..I would be mucking out the horse barn and watch Hugo as he worked the Billy Smart elephants that Buckles eventually took over...I was so impressed with his presence that I never could speak to him..he walked up one day and said I shovel shit good!!:)))
..The elephant Diva is this shot with Hugo is Charlott Thomas ( Mrs. Harry Thomas )..Margaret..
