A Grand Day Out

Leave a comment

It was a gala event held in the village of La Selva Beach on the Fourth of July, 2021 when James Rhodes, known as Jazbo to many, had the honor of being the Grand Marshall of the July 4th parade. His brother and sister, Ron and Barbara were lucky enough to ride in the official Grand Marshall vehicle with him, as Jim stood in the sun roof, waving to and greeting his fellow La Selvans in the first community activity in over a year not canceled by the dreaded SARS-CoV-2 virus. The vehicle, a new orange Jeep Rubicon, was expertly piloted by family friend Vic Marani.
