Today, as we prepare for our Walk with a Doc, we're not just taking steps for our health, we're also taking a step into the rich history that surrounds us here in Oakdale Cemetery. And what better way to do that than by exploring the fascinating world of the circus, a world brought to life in our book club selection, 'The Elephant of Belfast' by S. Kirk Walsh. This moving novel takes us into the heart of a zoo during wartime, where an orphaned elephant becomes a symbol of hope and resilience. As we delve into this story, we'll also be connecting it to the lives of four remarkable individuals laid to rest here, each with their own unique ties to the circus—a connection that mirrors the themes of 'The Elephant of Belfast'. Think of it: the dedication, the strength, the deep bonds between humans and animals. This is a common thread that runs through our book and the stories etched in these tombstones. We have Walter B. Logan, who traded the roar of the circus for the rumble of a truck, but never forgot his time with the elephants. Then there's David Charles 'Chuck' Harris, who literally ran away to join the circus, living a life of adventure and camaraderie. David Clawson 'Dave' Hoover, the fearless wild animal trainer who stared down danger every day. And finally, Fred C. Logan Sr., a man who lived and breathed the circus from childhood, a master of elephants. Each of these men, like the characters in our book, lived lives filled with passion, risk, and a profound connection to the animal world. Their stories, like the story of 'The Elephant of Belfast,' remind us of the power of resilience, the beauty of connection, and the enduring spirit of adventure. So, as we walk today, let's reflect on these stories, both fictional and real, and appreciate the rich tapestry of lives that have shaped our community. Let's start with &amp;nbsp;Fred Logan...
