For the 2013 Rose Parade®, Tournament of Roses® President Sally Bixby and her family selected the theme, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”
Next, President Bixby needed to decide on a Rose Parade® Grand Marshal who’s life and work best illustrate the Dr. Seuss-related theme.
Lancer Radio reporter Dot Cannon attended the Tournament House Press Conference, in April of 2012, during which Rose Tournament President Bixby announced her selection: world-renowned primatologist, environmentalist, humanitarian and author, Dr. Jane Goodall.
