Records about Rex Williams from William "Buckles" Woodcocks Blog

1958: Rex told me that when this picture was taken he was using a Whip as instructed by Mr. Smaha, which he soon eliminated, along with the fourth bull tub, too much stuff to carry around.
These are the elephants ("Mary", "Sue" and "Ruth") that took part in the Cuban revolution the following winter.
