Ringling Bros. Clown College Special 1982 part 2 of 3

From the way back machine via my clown brother Mike Johnson, here is a TV special focusing on our Clown College year, 1982. Features great interviews with Dean Ron Severini, Stilt walker Jim Iceberg, Student Cathy Balan and others. Features nice clips of the great Dave Berman. 3 parts, watch the whole thing, because it's very special.

Hi, Peter Cincotta here. I'm on the globe in the "Part 3 of 3" video. Thanks for posting. It's great to see this and my kids were excited that "Dad is on TH-cam". I continued clowning for 20+ years; just stopped a few years ago. Hope everyone is well. I have great memories of Clown College 1982!

I'm the Maria that is interviewed in this video--although they got the name wrong the first time "Maria" appears--that Auguste clown was actually Karen. I'm the Maria who is the "hobo" clown. I just found this. Thanks to Nic for posting it--hope you're doing well. I wonder where the rest of our classmates are?

I work in the education field. I still like to juggle and riding unicycle. Did you go to clown college? Were you in the clown college class of 1982?

Funny how the narrator was mentioning Emmett Kelly whilst there was a picture of Otto Griebling. But I think he was the better choice, not by a great span of time but I think Otto was genuinely the FIRST tramp clown character.
