    Hi there, so excited to finally see my favorite Uncle!!! Uncle Bob taught me to dance/perform with one of his elephants when I was 9 (1967) – it was the MOST fun I’ve ever had!! I have only one pic on my facebook (Mary Tice Parker) with a pic of Uncle Bob and I with Tonza – she was the sweetest elephant – thanks again – have a great lil day!!
