Blinky the Clown part 3

A visit to Blinkys Antique shop in Denver, as he talks about his childhood days and more.

I watched Blinky all the time when I was a kid. He was a great influence on children. My family even sing Happy birthday to each other in the way Blinky use to sing it to the kids. I wished I had gone and visited his antique shop before it closed. I loved him then and still do 45 years later. A great Icon.

I met him today and he said he fell three time with the cane but now has a walker/seat combo and hasn't fallen once. What a good guy, 87 years young and looking forward to 90. My 2009 stared off great with this meeting.

I met Blinky on south Broadway, he is a very nice man."God Bless you Blinky"

Thanks! He was stranded at the 7-11 across from him shop-said he waited 2 hours for a cab and the nerd that I am I offered him a ride home. Completely random and unexpected but I remember him so clearly. We had a great talk as I drove and he signed an 8x10 picture for me when we got back to his house. I am going to get a frame for that one! I hope that sets the tone for 2009!

Thanks - I appreciate it!

Thanks--he is a Denver children's TV institution! I have chatted with him a few times. He's a nice old guy.
