40 Years Ago! #8


....a sigh of relief and a cold beer while Dave Mullaney looks on in amusement.
Ralph Schappacher, Gary Jacobson, Gary Hill, Donnie Bale, myself, (Ben's dog "Clarence") Bucky Steele, Johnny Walker, Scott Riddle and Miguel Vargas who had come up with Ben from Mexico.
Some of these people had come to give me a hand, others just for the experience but the elephant crew destined for Circus World was me, Ben, the two Garys, Donnie, Scott and Miguel.

Could easily be used to promote

a "Help The Homeless" campaign

(or for immigration reform)

Buckles:

You and Mullaney were probably in Korea at the same time.

Dave once decked an officer over there and spent some time in the lock-up.
