A bongo birthday party?
Last saw one at the now gone Catskill Game Farm in NY which had a wonderful array of wildlife from around the world. Also some top notch live entertainment. Can you say Woodcock and Welde among many others?
This the bongo received by Cleveland zoo in 1959. It was only the 2nd one ever in USA. Bronx's Doreen was the first.The man in the photo is a prominent Cleveland restauranteur - - had restaurants under his name all over the country. Cannot recall his name right off.
The bongo's name was Karen. 50 years ago she was the only bongo in the US, now they are seen in several zoos.
