Neat picture. That hi-res image is hi-res. I was able to isolate you... but still can't see your face.

Very cool! A few years ago, I got to watch one of those parades from the 22nd floor of my office building when the Yankees won the World Series (I didn't work there anymore when the Giants won the Super Bowl, but I still went to the parade). Looks like a LOT of fun to march there! (BTW, it seems like the 1986 version of "tickertape" was the same as the modern version -- any and all paper you can get your hands on. What a mess! :))

Handsome! Love a man in a uniform. I hope that isn't a clip-on bow tie...

So if I'm reading this correctly, you "modestly took your place as the one and only bass, and oom-pahed up and down the square"?
