This is the "new" Emmett with Cherry Kelly, Emmett Jr.'s daughter. Cherry is very close to her Dad and came to Tombstone to live with him and help him in his Golden years. He is her best friend and she defends him and watches over him like a mother lion. Although she comes from a family of clowns, she never tried to clown herself. Cherry put this whole 80th birthday bash together as a gift to her father and as a special suprise gift for him....she dressed as a clown for the first time and did a skit with Lil Emmett, as I affectionatly call him. This is the costume she wore for that skit. I think Emmett didn't even know it was her, until afterwards, when she walked over to him with Lil Emmett and said "Happy Birthday, Dad" and he was thrilled and amazed that the poor little oaf was indeed his own daughter! It was such a sight to see. What a wonderful birthday gift Cherry gave to her father and I am pround and in awe that I was blessed to be a part of that gift. It is all so overwhelming and I just want to share this blessing with you all. Enjoy

OOOO! this is true love, everybody loves a clown! Great shot n would make a lovely card! Wow! what a story, u truly had a blessed day. I loved Emmet Kelly when I was a child, He was the Best Clown of the world. I used to paint clowns when I was younger because of him. I am sure that His son is also a great Clown. I haven't seen any of his work, but this is wonderful, indeed to behold. Cheers to u, Patti CBstan jones 24 Nov 2004
