Memorial Chair Honored in Parade

Dick Eggerding rode shotgun down Sixth St. in Tucson during this last St. Patrick’s Day parade. Known for his upbeat and jovial spirit, he didn’t miss the chance to shine his smile and trademark thumbs up to the crowd as he rode along in a Model-T during the festivities. Dick was honored for his support for the arts and being the founder of the Arizona Heroes Memorial, and gave a short speech to the crowd about the memorial after the parade had finished.
