The New Regime!



Fifteen years had passed from my first venture on the show until my return in 1994 and a lot of things had changed. When we showed Philadelphia, Kenneth and family made their regular appearance and he inquired about the elephant exercise pen like the one on the Red Show that for some reason Ted had refused to mess with. 
So we dug it out, set it up and it became a regular part of the operation.
For some reason Bonnie Feld had a lot of company that day, ladies with kids that she asked to bring into the elephant tent so while I was leading them on a tour one of the ladies asked, "Isn't one of them named "Karen"? an elephant that dated back to 1970, and I pointed her out, then another asked, "Isn't she mean?" and I replied , "Well, she has her moments" at which point they all fell into hysterical laughter like a bunch of school girls.
A hidden message there somewhere.

Could never have the comment space

to fully explain the Feld family

history & dynamics

Chic Silber said...


Kenneth was likely 20 & Karen 23

Isreal was Irvin's older brother

He & his wife Shirley were like

surrogate parents to the kids

About the best Karen ever looked

She has remained a horror story

Together this regime was rather

short lived until the ultimate

sale of (some of) it to Mattel

After buying it back there was

a slightly different make up

of team members (also long gone)
