Eighty-five years after participating in his first Flossmoor Bike Parade, Al Wagner served as grand marshal in the annual parade on July 4.
Wagner’s first parade came before his first birthday. He was born late in 1939 and participated in the 1940 bike parade.
“I have a picture of my sister on a bicycle and I’m in the basket in the front,” he said. “I don’t remember that. I was there.”
