Twin Pines Dairy's Milky the Clown, circa 1950 |
During a special visit to my kindergarten class, this clown scared me silly. But I still loved milk...although we had a loyalty to the competition from Sealtest Dairy where my Dad was the Safety Director for the delivery trucks.
Clare Cummings was the man behind the white mask. There's a webpage dedicated to his love of kids and magic at DetroitKidShow.com
Loved Milky the Clown! So wonderful,so irreplaceable. So many names come out of the memory banks: Poopdeck Paul, Captain Jolly, Hal Peary doing Faygo, Oopsy, Sir Graves Ghastly, eventually Cleveland's traveling Ron Sweed - The Ghoul. Yes,so wonderful.
