Paul Gutheil said...: Yes, March 1993. RBBB in conjunction with the Museum of Natural History in NYC had a parade with many performers in and on circus wagons from the Garden to the south side of the museum where most of Gunther's herd did a long mount and there were also wagons from CWM in Baraboo, including the Swan Bandwagon and the Mother Goose wagon. Inside there was a program which featured the then recently dusted off skeleton of Jumbo. . .very interesting, you could look up in his mouth and see at least one impacted molar.
It was a great day which, as I recall, had great press coverage.; 21 July, 2014 21:05
