Janice Solloway of Huntington poses the question from the point of view of the raccoon in this photo.
Jann Lewis, then 11 of LaOtto, did indeed know Zorro the Raccoon was on her shoulder as they prepared to appear in the Alpha Delta Kappa Pet Parade at Franke Park on July 11, 1983, during Three Rivers Festival.
Zorro might not have been to happy about it, though app or perhaps he had similar thoughts to some History Journal readers about the possibility of a coon-skin cap. Seconds after the photo was taken, Zorro scurried away in the crowd and was recaptured as he attempted to climb a tree.
