#18 Gold Unit
Japan. Bobby Johnson once told us that while they were framing this show the consensus was that the title would be the "The White Show" in compliance with the Red and Blue Units giving it an All American flavor but Mr. Feld stated a white flag is a sign of defeat! Thus RBBB Gold. |

#4 Elephant Acts
Ed Widaman with "Dorothy", "Peggy" and "Zetta". As I recall Widaman got into the elephant business after retiring from a career as a Postal Delivery Man. My father helped train one of these while I was away in the Army. |

Hamid-Morton Elephants. I think you are supposed to style with both arms but in this case I'll overlook it. |
