Good looking herd of elephants for this size of the show. I am going to go back into photo shop and try to put these four photos into a long strip forming the parade.
Note From Ivan
Posted By thecircusblog on June 9, 2013
Sorry for the delay in posting on the circus blog. I Have just been released from the hospital. Fluid gathered around the outside of my right lung. A Thoracentesis had to be preformed then a Thoracostomy. It is not a dangerous operation just some what painful for a few days. I will rest up for a day or so more and then start back with some great 1958 Ringling Photos from the Jerry Gildemeister collection. These photos have never been published.
My thanks to all my friends for the get well note’s

Ray Chandler a man of many talents. He was not born in the business but with in his heart he was a showmen. Ray built his own family circus. Then went on to greater heights as a #1 animal trainer. There was not much this man could not do that was relevant to our business. Photo late 1949, or 1950.
