Welcome
2007
The 20th Annual
Lawrence St. Patrick's Parade This year the
Grand Marshal will be Alan Mulally who is currently
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Ford Motor
Company. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1969
with Bachelor and Master Degrees in aeronautical and
astronautical engineering. Previously, he served as
executive vice president of Boeing and the CEO of Boeing
Commercial Aircraft. In 1993, his Father and Mother, Dick
and Lauraine Mulally, were the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day
Parade’s first Senior King and Queen. Although, Alan’s
Father has since passed away his Mother Lauraine continues
to be involved with the Parade every year. We look forward
to having the Mulally family join us this year for the
celebration at the St Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday,
March 17th. The 2007, Senior King and Queen, Alan Johnson and wife
Terri Wilson, have a special reason to celebrate. They will
be renewing their vows at the beginning of the 20th Annual
Parade. They were married on one of the
floats during the very first Parade, in 1988, sitting high above the
Kaw River on the bridge as the snow began to fall.
Congratulations! Happy St Patrick's Day!!!
