Wade,
This must be around 1935 because Charly along with the 15 other elephants from circus Amar, used to belong to a much larger herd of 24 (6 bulls and 18 cows). this herd whas part of circus kludsky, they went bankrupt in 1934, I belief Bouglione wanted to buy these 16 elephants first, but due to political unrest in Austria at the time they postponed the trip, Amar got wind of this and made a deal with circus Kludsky not only would they buy the 16 elephants but also get them out immediately. Sometime this week I will send you an E-mail with a picture of these 16 elephants taken in 1934 in Vienna.

Bjorn,
Good stuff, thank you. Is circus Kludsky any relation to Evonne Kludsky? Thank you also for the offer of a photo of the 18 elephants, we will look forward to it. I'll bet you are busy this time of year.
Regards,
Wade

Bjorn,
Thank you it was received. Plant a rose bush for me, friend. I'll appreciate it, and it will give me the sense I am in your beautiful country on vacation.
