    I saw Queenie and Wanda in 1967 in Drayton Plains Michigan in the SS Kresges parking lot. I was 2 years old and my mom said I got to ride on Queenie. My love for elephants started that day. I have 2 photos of them. I think about them often, are they still alive?

I eagerly anticipate associating with new individuals with an interest or history in elephants, elephant history and elephant record keeping. If you have further information regarding the animals or locations questioned in the article, please leave a comment or message me in an effort to complete their records for elephant historians.
