Bud said...: I recall this day they came over .

Bill & Reberta had me over to both there homes a couple times in the late 70s & we enjoyed lunch & shared our Artistic & Healthy thoughts & memories some as displayed here today - he also gave me names of people that were expected to become prominent in the circus & 30 years later now

Bob Momyer said...: I remembwer the year well as I was Bill's assistant and it was his last year as Dean of Clown College. It was also the year Emmett Kelly came to the arena and spoke to the Clown College students. As I understood it from Bill, Emmett was not welcome around the show and this was quite a moment.
