In answer to Ole Whitey, back in 1977 while working with Bill Ballentine at Clown College, several of us including Emmett went to lunch. I was seated next to Emmett with Lou Jacobs on his other side. The conversation was amazing between the two senior clowns. Emmett turned to me and asked who was the greatest tramp clown. Naturally, I answered, "You are". "No", he said "It's Otto. I learned everthing I know From him". Moments like that one never forgets. Bob

Why hasn't anyone commented on Emmett Kelly?
