This is the baby elephant that Bill and I bought from an attraction in Ocean City, MD back in 1971. He was only a couple of years old and green. (Meaning he was not broke to do anything yet) We kept Him that winter and in the Spring Bob Snowden called us and said if we wanted to sell him he had a buyer. Well it turned out to be Dory Miller. We delivered him to Chico's Monkey Farm in Richmond Hill, GA. And there was a Carson & Barnes semi waiting for him. They took him to Buckles place in Ruskin and he told us that he was broke and doing a single in no time at all! Naturally the next season our good friend Freddy Logan told us he would have broke him for us if we had called him. Well Guffy was over there for a couple of years and then we heard Dorey had sold him to Mexico. I'm not sure in the picture on the left which one he is but he's definitely the one on the right with Buckles wife.
