Just One Month Away

The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is on schedule for Sunday, 18 March 2012. Here is a photo scanned from one of my father’s transparencies taken at the St. Pat’s parade in 1973, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Hampden Park. The small white sign says “Music by Larry Chesky.” As usual, click on the image for a larger version.

Did anyone here ride on this float?
