[Vision2020] [CORRECTED] Moscow Mardi-Gras Memories

[Tom Hansen]

Mark is correct.

I'll let Max Nelson explain (from an email he sent me):

"I remember the first parade which came down the alley behind Ward's
Hardware and my store, Cox & Nelson. They wouldn't allow them on Main
Street. I especially remember the next one which was the first Milk Carton
parade. My friend Chuck Hudson, and I marched in that one as the Blues
Brothers. It was a lot of fun since neither of us had ever heard of the
Blues Brothers and we just did as his niece told us. I'll never forget the
looks from behind the counter when I went into the Corner Music Store in
costume with a briefcase handcuffed to my wrist, and announced that I wanted
to buy a harmonica. I guess it was pretty funny even if I didn't know why at
the time."

He lives in Hemet, California, and maintains a website chuck-full of old
family and regional photos.

Cox and Nelson in front of their store: Radio Shack. Year? The one 
after the downtown LID planted the trees.
