Petrea Burchard said...: 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.; May 26, 2009 at 9:38 AM
Jean Spitzer said...: It's definitely an award; is it the honorary marshall of the Rose Parade?; May 26, 2009 at 10:12 AM
Susan C said...: Patton? He doesn't look a thing like George C. Scott.; May 26, 2009 at 10:19 AM
Cybele said...: 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. :}; May 26, 2009 at 1:40 PM

Cybele! What a contender!; May 26, 2009 at 5:39 PM
