“Mouseketeer Karen becomes an elephant girl”



(One of the original Mouseketeers was a little blond girl named Karen, which is probably why they chose to mis-identify the real elephant girl.)

Karen the Mouseketeer was supposed to ride the elephant (Tilly) but she was too scared, so I rode her & they called me Karen. Walt Disney would drop by Gil Gray's office semi quite often. Gil Gray's baby elephants were dyed green, red & yellow for the Disney circus or am I thinking of a later time Johnny?
