Janet, Stacy, Kelly, Hoxie and Betty. Another of six was a sickly elephant that died on the road during the difficult time of the Penn. floods. Her name was Irene and she would be replaced by another Irene. The female African Betty died at seasonds end in quarters and would be replaced by Asian "betty"

I recall that at that time I had considerable training experience and did the job with a smooth professional manner. Hoxie was quite pleased. He put up the side show top to practice in. His quarters was a cow pasture right by Miami Airport. Young Mark Karoly was also a helper.
