Clyde Beatty Clown Alley
From the collection of Ralph Pierce. I'm gonna guess this is from the 1970s. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Would love to hear more about John Block and Larry Lawrence, as I haven't heard of them before.

Tina graduated from Ringling's Clown College in 1995 and toured with both the Red and Blue Units from 1996-1999. This photo was most likely taken in 1997.
After Ringling Tina continued clowning, notably with the Kinoshita Circus in Japan and with a troupe of theater clowns from L.A. who called themselves The Funky Punks.
