Collection of elephants on display at the Library Savannah Gochoel’s collection of elephants is now on display at the Back Mountain Memorial Library. Savannah, eleven years old, is a sixth grader and is the daughter of Kim and Dennis Gochoel of Dallas. She says she has been collecting elephants for the past four or five years and started collecting them because her grandfather, an elephant collector himself, started giving them to her. Savannah says, “Some are antiques that have been with my grandpa and family for a while.” Most of Savannah’s elephants were given to her as gifts, but her favorite is a big stuffed one with earth ears. She says it is her favorite because she earned that one through Girl Scouts.
