Unknown Photographer

FIFTY YEARS AGO TOMORROW!

I know this isn't one of my photos, but it dawned on me that I will be celebrating
an anniversary tomorrow....in 1955 I represented San Antonio in the Tournament of Roses
Parade in Pasadena.....it was the first time they could remember that it was cold and rainy,
lucky me! The float won first prize for our category. It was a lot of new things for me:

First plane ride
First (and probably last) horse race (Santa Anita)
Met Roy Rogers and Dale Evans: click on image below
Met and had to stand next to Miss Universe for a photo (please check this one out): Click on image below

Went to the Rose Bowl Game.....rain soaked, and Ohio State beat Southern California 20-7
And this year Texas plays in the Rose Bowl....GO LONGHORNS

I had a great time for a ten year old (you do believe that, don't you?) I have never shown these photos to my Grandchildren....maybe even my
children haven't see them...perhaps it is time! Thanks for looking.

You look just like a princess & appear to have the princess hand wave down pat! Love it. It's great that you got to experience that & all of the other "firsts". Beautiful image & memories ~

Big difference between 2006 and 1955.
The only things remain the same is:
All girls were same "Beautiful".
