The African Jackie came thru animal broker - Earl Tatum. I believe he had imported a small Group (5-7). This was the last of the group, he delivered her in August 1980. Bret Bronson, 2010

Queen & Liz plus, a 3rd elephant Ruth came to Bensons Animal Park in New Hampshire in 1963. Ruth was sold privately in 1978. Queen & Liz remained at the park until Feb. '88. They were sold, along with 'Jackie' an African, the previous fall at the park liquidation auction to Hawhtorn Corp (John Cuneo).

Jackie was a great elephant also, as well as being exceptionally good looking. I in fact only knew her for three day's before she suddenly died. Jim Zijeck had her in a 4 act with Gyp, Ronnie and Joy(an african). He came into winter quarters on a Friday and turned the elephants out in the paddock for the day. I was looking at the elephants with Jim and commented on what a beauty that Jackie was. Thick, muscled well and with two heavy, perfectly matched Tusks about 2 1/2 foot long. Each day Jim and I would look at the elephants and I would comment on how sharp that Jackie looked. On the third day, Larry as God is my witness, as we were looking at the elephants, all of a sudden Jackie keeled over on her side. Jim and I ran to her and when we got there she was stone cold dead. Bang, just like that.

We buried her the next day on the farm.(If you stand at the back door of the shop, and walk 110 yards straight ahead you will be standing on her remains.)
