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.
