Was at Ralph's one of many times in the 60's. We camped out at his place and were building a tiger cage for him to display a tiger they rented on a lot of shoots for the Esso / Exon fuel Co. Their split level Western /tack store had a kitchenette located on the lower story and the B/S would fly at the Coffee & donut table on a daily basis. One morning Ralph asked if I new his brother George? No, I answered. He said that George would be dropping by for a couple of days and added he is a little dingy "you know". I do recall him mentioning that he did a lot of work with animals on the west coast. He showed up driving a new red convertible with a small burro setting down in the back seat. Ralph said he was in town for some sort of a shoot with the critter. Had a couple of days of interesting B/S'ing, with Ralph & his brother, George. Always wondered in latter years if that Gent was the same George Emerson I had heard about in more recent years that I had met way back then.

I was told George Emerson had the Terrell Jacobs arena, and would not let it go to anyone for any price. If this is true, it may still be wherever Emerson's legacy rests. If anyone actually knows, kindly post it for us.
