JB is such a professional clown and a great guy. JB and Phyllis became family to me both on and off the road.<br /><br />I also worked Great American Circus and Royal Hanneford, from time to time, when Tommy was playing locally and needed a clown. He usually didn't have one on the show.<br /><br />Caught JB abd Ron at Riverside Park and love the show. <br /><br />I admit that the most fun I had was working with JB, and that's what it's all about. Entertaining and having fun while doing it.<br /><br />Linda "Derf" NicholsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02014058202039778025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879641.post-77341975581898607512009-06-26T16:12:03.642-04:002009-06-26T16:12:03.642-04:00-Ron(s)
I did a season with Franzen a couple years...-Ron(s)<br />I did a season with Franzen a couple years later. Dick spoke very highly of both of you. Often. Very, very often. To the point of making me feel a very inadequate clown indeed. :\<br /><br />But Jellybean blew halfway through the season. I got his water hose job, though. Good gig.<br />-matMat C.http://shoobedoobe.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879641.post-78815908834241890022009-06-24T09:28:21.937-04:002009-06-24T09:28:21.937-04:00I absolutely ADORE JB "JellyBean" Dick.....I absolutely ADORE JB "JellyBean" Dick...and his wife Phyllis.<br /><br /> When I clowned at the old Circus World theme park in Florida...right out of high school in 1985...JB gave me a ride to work every day and became a good friend. He kept an eye on me that summer (it was my first time away from home)and really took me under his wing.<br /><br /> A few years later...after I had clowned on RBBB and some overseas gigs...JB and I ended up working a few more contracts together. We were "The Circus of Clowns" at Riverside Amusement Park in Massachussetts in 1992. We did a 1 month winter tour of Florida with "The Great American Circus" in 1994. We clowned together..winning a Bronze medal...at the Sarasota International Circus Festival.<br /><br />"Toto" JohnsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
