Miss California 1960 Suzanne Marie Reamo Visits California National Guard Installation
In 1960, beauty pageant titleholder Suzanne Marie Reamo, Miss California, made a ceremonial visit to a California National Guard installation, a common goodwill gesture pairing civic pageantry with military public relations during the Cold War era. She is pictured here with a National Guard officer and a pageant chaperone beside a hand-painted identification sign, in front of an armory building typical of the period's National Guard architecture.
