NEW YORK CITY - If it's June, it must be time to think about the
Rose Parade on Jan. 1, 2008.
That's what Tournament of Roses President CL Keedy is betting on,
anyway, and in a double break from tradition, will announce next
year's grand marshal Friday morning six months early and from the set
of "Good Morning America" in New York City.
"It's because of scheduling issues both for myself and the grand
marshal," Keedy said from New York.
"To get us together, we had to do it here and we wanted to do it
sooner rather than later," he said. "We hope this provides us more
opportunity to have the grand marshal in public view for a longer
time - assuming it's somebody," Keedy said mysteriously.
