On March 9, 1938, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was the guest of honor at the Mother-In-Law Day parade and celebration in downtown Amarillo. This photograph was taken at the Santa Fe Station on her way to the reviewing stand. Sitting next to Mrs. Roosevelt is then-mayor Ross Rogers and L.O. Thompson, the former national president of the Mother-In-Law clubs. Lawrence Hagy, an Amarillo oilman, chauffeured the First Lady in an “Eleanor Blue” Buick, a vehicle designed specifically for her.
