[i]I am pretty sure it was Schirra - I remember the astronauts were picked up at the airport (either La Guardia or Kennedy) (according to my uncle) and my Uncle saying that he drove Schirra into Manhattan in a motorcade. My Uncle drove the Chief of the New York fire department for a number of years after receiving an injury. I do not think it was a ticker tape parade but rather a way of getting the astronauts into Manhattan via a motorcade from the airport - either Kennedy or I think LA Guardia. Uncle Milton was one of the drivers for the Chief of the NYC fire department.[/i]
