A blast from the past!!!!!!!

It is amazing the "stuff" people will collect and save, but as you get older, you are grateful that they did. The newpaper picture above is a photo of me, in 1975 with the 3 baby elephants, Alta, Viola, and Margaret that I took to a circus in Mexico City. Things sure change. Note my elephant hook wrapped in white tape with floresent blue tape strips so it matched my blue and white costume. I was proud, and didn't feel the need to "hid" the hook. I still am today, and wrap my whips in white tape. I have nothing to hid, and am not doing anything harmful to the animals. No more then the person with a collar and leash on their dog, or a halter on their horse. That's just a fact.
