The lady in the act and in the background with me is one Clara LeVine. She had been a bally broad on Ringling and Cole too and was a blank in the elephant act. My Dad hired her as he felt being a Show broad she would be alright around elephants. She was a pain in the ass and this is on the "Texas Dates". We paid her after the first town and then my cousin Gee Gee came and she knew her stuff. I was around 22 yrs. old. The Cole Bros Elephants.tanglefoot

John Milton,
God love you, friend. I trust you will "tell it like it is" till the day you die. LOL My thoughts were with you last night. I had intended to drink a Corona absentee in your honor, but then decided two would be better. Then I decided it was only right that I have two more for Mary Ruth. I trust you and Mary Ruth were pleased and humbled by the doings last night.

My best, ole hoss

P.S. 22??? I was 21, when the picture of me standing on the elephants was taken. Your were candy ass, compared to me Col. Herriott....... :)
