Thank you ! I believe Genoa had at least one more on the road in 1979 - Tiela / Tela.

Connie and Nellie were sold the following year to Vazquez. One died as a result to that truck fire. Any ideas from anyone what became of those two Africans Kenny and Hugo that were on C&B 2 the year prior ( Genoa before the name change ) ?

I don't remember a Tela, but the baby Africans both died in winter quarters in Stapleton, Alabama, as did the hippo "Fat Albert" that I drove in 1978. Things were pretty tight financially, and I don't think there was anyone in winter quarters that knew what to do with the big pachyderms. Sad.

Wow, thank you ! Sad, but great to be able to finish their records. Do you have any photos of them ?
