I know him as the "Parade Master"
Moustache and his wife KC were at the first clown meeting I went to at North Bay. 
I liked them both immediately. I have learned to appreciate their generosity and attention to detail

Thanks Gary for your interview also for all the things you do for "The Clown Krewe"
