Robert and Lanan Shelton are long time members of Red River UU.  Robert began his love affair with elephants when he was a child.  His grandmother traveled extensively, and when she visited a country with an elephant population, she brought a figurine representing an elephant indigenous to the area.  Robert’s sister moved to southern India, and the collection grew.

Lanan enjoyed the collection and began to look for other figurines.  Now theircollection is proudly displayed in our home.  The Sheltons have been intrigued with documentaries about these magnificent creatures and would like to share their love for elephants with you.
