1955 RBBB Elephants #3



Back in business and in charge of the herd.
I asked Smokey how he happened to get that job and he said that the summer before, while they were training all those little elephants in Sarasota, they asked if he could come up with an act since the Quarters was open to the public.
Only ones available were three old retired cows "Jenny", "Eva" and "Jewel" so he threw an act together and worked it himself.
One day Reed comes up and says, "Henry Ringling North caught your act today and said it's better than what they got on the show and wants you to take over.
Simple as that.
