Burt Humphrey, a retired beer distributor, was named the 1992 grand marshal of the 67th annual La Fiesta de los Vaqueros parade on Feb. 13, 1992. Humphrey had been president of Buxton-Smith Mercantile Co. until his retirement. Here he is shown being congratulated by his friend Larry Kelly. Kelly also presented Humphrey with a bundle of spaghetti, possibly a parade tradition that has been lost to history.

Tucson Time Capsule is a daily photo feature in the Arizona Daily Star.

Each day, we will choose a photo from the Star photo archives to run in the paper and on azstarnet.com. The photo will be one that was taken within the past 35 years, and whenever possible, it will be one taken on the same date in a previous year as the date it will run now.

It may be a groundbreaking, an appearance of a national politician in town or a gathering of Tucsonans at work or play. But whatever it is, it will be a photographic time capsule of Tucson as it was.

Our ongoing collection of "time capsule" photos will be available online at go.azstarnet.com/timecapsule — where you can add your own historic Tucson photos to the collection. Please observe copyright laws.
