1968 James Bros. Circus #4



"Jackie", "Anna May", "Ellie", "Sue" and "Lovey" (named after Lovey Kellner, Sid's wife)
These little guys were pretty scrawney when we joined the show and Barbara immediately  started boiling the oatmeal and hand feeding "Jackie".

No those elephants came from 1000 Oaks.
Wasn't that Jackie named after McKluskey's granddaughter or some such?

Close but she was named for the

adopted daughter of Frank & his

wife Brenda McClosky (she was a

former Ringling showgirl likely

to be from Digger Pugh)
