I was just double checking something in The Circus Report for June 2, 1975. That's where I read about three tiger cubs being born from Baron Julius Von Uhl's tigress on May 24th, 1975 in Fairfield, California. I checked with some of the public libraries in the area to try and get a newspaper article off of micro-film, but there wasn't any in the local paper, or in San Francisco or Sacramento. There is an article in the March 3, 1975 issue of The Circus Report about the custody battle between Baron Julius Von Uhl and John F. Cuneo Jr. over Tony in Detroit. It says the judge ordered John F. Cuneo to pay $20,000 for Tony, which was $4000 more than the $16,000 that Mr. Cuneo wanted to pay. They had a disagreement at MarineWorld/ AfricaUSA in Vallejo, California (which is quite close to Fairfield, which is equi-distant between San Francisco and Sacramento being 38 miles from each) over the division of a litter of three white tiger cubs. Andy Goldfarb, the tiger trainer, who worked there at the time, sent me a postcard of the three white tiger cubs. Their father was Samson, the white tiger they bought from Josip Marcan, and the mother was an orange tigress which another tiger trainer acquired from Josip Marcan. MarineWorld decided to let the tiger trainer, who owned the mother, keep three of the cubs.I have had two conversations with Baron Julius Von Uhl and he never mentioned any tiger cubs born in Fairfield, California in 1975 or at the Baaltimore County Fair in 1976. He told me he had tiger cubs born in Georgia and Indiana. Take care. Sincerely Paul Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
