I only know of three, "Bertha", "Tina #1" and "Tina #2". By the way, John Herriott should record the saga of Bertha's sale and tumultuous journey from Baraboo to Reno accompanied by Jenda and Wilbur Deppe Jr. The relationship deteriorated to a point where half way there and returning to the truck after eating at a truck stop, Deppe discovered that Jenda had unloaded Bertha, jumped up on her back and departed into the setting sun for Nevada. Great story! After Jenda left the Nuggett, between 1970 and 1980 he had four different elephants named "Tanya".

Shortly after he trained her. Note the fancy diaper on her, just in case.johnny
In the 1960s my family brought me to Radio City Music Hall and Tanya was on the bill. A photo of her was on the lobby board near the box office.
Does anyone know what year that was? I am just curious, I cannot find that information anywhere I've looked.
How many different elephants did
Yenda Smaha present at the Nugget
