Johnny and his daughter Kathy. In 1960 EK Fernandes hired Henry’s Chimps along with Johnny Cline and his animal acts. We were selected to go aboard the ship that took the animals to Hawaii. It was a seven day trip and John and I fed, watered and cleaned all of the animals. Each night there would be a poker game with the crew of the Matsen Liner cargo ship. I think Johnny won more money  in the poker games than he did in Hawaii.
