Rex with his 1st wife
These elephants were members of a group imported by Ben Davenport in 1947 for his Dailey Bros. Circus "Mary", "Maude", "Norma", "Bessie" and "Konti" ("Good Luck" in Hind1).
Weren't these known as the Norma 5 given as a wedding gift to Ben's daughter & son in law Pete Cristiani
Did some of these end up in the Beatty herd
Yes Indeed.
Tanks Buckles Is that "Yes Indeed" in regards to both questions I well remember Maude & Konti Perhaps others had new names Could Bessie have become Bee
