Buckles, how do you come up with the history of all of these elephants?

I'd like a list of all the elephants on the first Blue Unit in 1969. How can I find that?

What is the history of you're becoming Boss on the Blue Unit?

1969 Ringling-Barnum Elephants
Blue Show
Marcella, Icky, Siam, India, Calcutta, Jewel, Lucy, Betty, Rani, Suzanne, Jennie, Targa, Kernaudi, Roma, Putsie, John, Tagu and Cora. (18)

Red Show
Wells, Puppe, Siam, Nellie, Tichi, Mary, Thaila, Assam, Banana, Sara, Baby, Cita, Rani, May, Suzie, Jennie and Kongo. (17)

You may notice that there is a "Siam" etc. in each herd. Just a coincidence.

My history of becoming Boss on the Blue Show resulted from me working cheaper than anyone else.

Buckles, didn't Karen come to the Blue show in 69?

I don't believe that, "from me working cheaper crap", for a minute. I have always been facinated in this business by the fact that when someone loses a date to another act, it is always because, "he worked cheaper", never because his act was better.
