More Globes! #1 (From Buckles)



The opening number with Kelly-Miller in 1950 was a five ring display of young elephants my dad had trained the previous winter doing various balancing feats such as the bottle walk, plank walk, hand-stand pedestal and rolling a globe.
Here is "Anna May" in training but the globe been salvaged from somebody's juggling act and quickly fell apart.
So  D.R. had Wayne Sanguin build a one which was done with the aid the Choctaw County Surveyor who marked the dimensions on a sheet of metal which Wayne then assembled like the skin on an orange.
