Carolyn Ladd, Beauties of America 40s, made her first appearance on August 13, 2011 at the Auburn, Washington Good Ol' Days Parade. She met Miss Auburn Daniela Ferrell (who was 4th runner up to Miss Washington) and Miss Auburn's Outstanding Teen Naomi Moore. Also pictured are some young ladies from the Miss Auburn Princess Program.
The highlight of the parade for Carolyn was meeting two people who are celebrating achievement at any age! Vickie Vallier, built B-17 bombers at Boeing during World War II. Women known as "Rosie the Riveters" built military aircraft while men were off at war. Vickie, age 87, was just crowned the Pioneer Queen.
The oldest active race car driver in America, 73 year old Frank Nelson, and his wife Ruth ho
sted Carolyn in the parade. Here Carolyn and Frank are pictured with his race car.
And here are Ruth and Carolyn in the parade. Thank you to the Auburn Good Ol' Days Parade Chairman for such a warm reception for Beauties of America 40s.
