Yep. Twice when I was a little sprat. 1939, when the Grand Marshal was Shirley Temple, then again in 1940, when the Grand Marshal was (were) Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.

Didn't go to the Rose Bowl games though.

Part of the time we were living in Pasadena, we lived one block north of Colorado Boulevard. Not the part where the parade went, though. Does not far from McKinley High School ring a bell?
