Friday Photo Flashback

September 11th is a day of remembrance. Remembering what happened this day 8 years ago is in many of our minds.

It also makes me remember loved ones I have lost. Not on Sept. 11th, but at other times. Thinking of my Dad on this day, who passed away in 1993. He was a Shriners Clown. He would do a lot of activities with the Shriners and also visited sick children in the hospital.

Here's a picture of him as a Clown. He went by the name of "Bows." He had a few different looks over the years. Taken around 1984.

    Your dad must of been one special person.

    I'll never forget the clown that came into my son's room before his brain surgery.
