Here is Mike Graham @ka "Sparky" the Clown helping at the Make - a Wish Clown Makeup Class. Mike was one of the first clowns of the Make-a-Wish Convoys. He and I started the Clown Alley for the Convoy way back then. It has grown to over 35 clowns and growing every year!! This years class had 30 new Wanna "B" Clowns. Mike has since retired as a Clown but still adds Valuable Ideas to Us All...Thanks "Sparky"
