RBBB Under Canvas #10



Jackie LeClaire, do you remember this gentleman!
Arnie Honkola, only elephant guy I know of that also clowned....tho I remember a few that should have.
Freddy Logan told me that if they were short handed he would work a team on the lot in the morning.
Elephant is "Big Ruth" (Barnes show) despite the fact she was smaller than "Little Ruth" seen earlier in the John Robinson photos.

Yes, Chic!
It definitely makes a difference when you are trying to get 15 cage wagons in the tent on time, in soft sand or mud! Hoover changed his over to the larger wheels around 1980-81.
