#13 Elephant Acts

Malonga and Johnny Cline with "Dell".
My father did a little work on this elephant, called her "Dill Pickle".

That name stuck a bit as I recall members of the Cline family sometimes used it the summers that they and I both worked at the museum.

Milonga was one of the very few women on the Beatty show to become close friends with Harriett Beatty. Mrs. Beatty was extremely jealous of her husband, and got between he and all but the most trusted of his family and life-long friends. Milonga had to have been an exceptional woman to be young and pretty and still a friend of Harriett Beatty.
