Ed's Travelogue: Honor Guard and Parades Feb-May 1979

One of my buddies in the ssquadron was a member of the George AFB Honor Guard but didn't have a car of his own, so for a few months in 1979 I would drive him to parades in which the Honor Guard was participating which gave me a chance to travel and see a bit more. here's some pics of the team and the various parades I saw. As usual, I had to ration my photos because back in the day, if you recall, film and prcocessing could end up costing a pretty penny so at times I would only have one or two rolls of film to shoot for any given event. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Winter Carnival Parade, Wrightwood, CA  - February 1979

brrrr I get cold just looking at these pictures

How I did panoram shots back in the day
























Orange Show Parade, Orange, CA - February 1979

I must've been really low on film because nearly every photo of this event was of the Honor Guard and little of the parade. After each event I would show the photos to the Honor Guard members and make extra copies to give to them

Little League Exhibition, Victorville, CA - April 1979















Armed Forces Day Parade, Torrance, CA - May 1979

This was the last parade I went to with the Honor Guard. Shortly after this my buddy had bought a car and didn't need me to drive him to events any more. 

This time around I had plenty of film so I ended up getting quite a few shots
