KEANE: But then one day he decided he needed to say goodbye to the plastic Dumbo - just needed to walk away, put an end to it. ![]() RICHARD KRAFT: It's a sensation of his friendly face staring at you, and I can wake up in the morning, go downstairs, and there he is. For over two decades, it smiled at Richard Kraft as he came down the stairs each morning, soothing his pain, filling him with fatherly pride. Richard had bought it and hung it in his living room, and it spent years there hanging, looking like it was about to come in for a landing onto the coffee table.
