I represented San Antonio in the Tournament of Roses parade fifty years ago tomorrow.
The gentleman with me is Reynolds Andricks, who was president of the Fiesta San Jacinto Commission.
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans are on the float....the story was that Roy would ride Trigger
in the parade and go up to shake hands with the parade watchers and one year Trigger
stepped on someone's foot....so from that time on he had to ride a floral replica of Trigger.
I don't know if the story is true, but that is what we were told. Anyway, I had a great time!
(Remember, I was ten years old at the time, or maybe five, and really thrilled to meet Roy and Dale!)
