The back end of that platform can get dangerously slippery
Ben Williams atop Col Joe with his paperback book
This was during the time that his father Rex had the herd on Vargas
Kim Baer, the daughter of Parley and Ernestine Clarke Baer, worked with Colonel Joe over there. When I had to inform her of Joe's passing, on Krone, in Germany, she grieved for a month.
Actually in failing health Krone sent him to Platschow Elefantenhof under the care of Sonni Frankello where he died in 2012 at the age of 48
Joe was slightly taller at the shoulder (by some questionable masurements) than Tommy but not nearly as massive a fellow Both were good working elephants
