It's the rose queen decorating Patton.

Is that Patton? I was going to say it was a Rose Queen. Darn that Altadena Hiker.

This is the awarding of a prize to a famous Pasadena resident.

argh. I not good at this game.

It doesn't seem like she should be touching his lapel, does it? And those aren't roses. She's awarding him something, I just don't know what. Perhaps a veteran's award of some sort, or a civic thingy? I think Ben's onto something.

Jean Spitzer said...

It's definitely an award; is it the honorary marshall of the Rose Parade?

Susan C said...

Patton? He doesn't look a thing like George C. Scott.

It looks like E. O. Nay (then Mayor of Pasadena) being awarded the 1941 Rose Parade Grand Marshall title, by the Rose Queen Sally Stanton. :}

Cybele said...

Oh, and check out the Tournament of Roses Grand Marshall Gallery for the answer...

Well that's a rose queen, and one of the better looking ones -

As far as the woman goes, I have no idea who that is.

Hehe, anonymous.

Cybele! What a contender!

Susan, I figured if I said it with enough confidence, Ann would just believe me, regardless of proof.
