JOE VITTI / ARIZONA DAILY STAR 1983 Oh, those whimsical Sabbar Shrine Clowns were at it again on March 12, 1983, when they were out promoting the upcoming Sabbar Shrine Circus. Through the Shriners' fundraising, they hoped to raise $50,000, which would be used to fund Southern Arizona mobile medical miniclinics. For this photo, Jim Fink, out-of-costume, joined clowns, from left, Paul Shank, Ed Garner, Dan Chitwood and Bunky Skawski. The rather stiff fellow in the background is nameless.
