These two Africans are Sudan and Pourquois/Puqua and the Asian at far right is Queen, their anchor; they were brought over to Barnes-Sells-Floto after RBBB's early closing in 1938 as was Big Modoc. I this this was the Queen they called "Barnum Queen." I don't know if Larry Davis came over with them or not- help? Buckles? Bob?

Not likely, everybody knew that Walter McLain was the guy who got things done.

Dave, I read an article somewhere that said that Larry Davis stayed in the Sarasota WQ after RBBB closed. When you think about it, that makes a lot of sense. He had 35 elephants on the road when they closed. 31 one them stayed in Sarasota.
