We weren’t really buddies, but that day he was my best friend. I got invited to watch the Rose Bowl Parade by the rich kid on the block; his father was an undertaker and adequately well off to own what was probably the only black metal table-model RCA color television in south Bethlehem, PA. It was January 1, 1958. What a treat.
Today it's exactly 48-years and a day later and a chance to relive the event with vintage roundie CT-100 B8000194. But it rained on the parade. For the first time since 1955, Pasadena faced a wet one. While not what I had hoped for, here’s a page on the CT-100 site with a little glimpse of what it looked like.
