February Having Ended ... This Is A Los Angeles Royalty Page

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 Ethel Arnold Bradley

was the longest reigning

FIRST LADY OF LOS ANGELES

As first occupant

of the Mayor's offical resident,

She  hosted Nelson Mandela

and the King of Spain.

ETHEL ARNOLD BRADLEY

 conferred with

Pope John Paul II 

and the queen of England

entertained her three times. 

She rode on the Dodgers' team jet. 

At the ballpark,

she was known as "Mrs. B."

But I refer to her

by including her maiden name

because Ethel Mae Arnold

graduated Jefferson High School

at the age of fifteen.

The Bradleys were

the First Family of Los Angeles

for twenty years.

 

Tom was the Mayor
and Ethel was 
Los Angeles' answer
to Dolly Madison

An ice cream
was named for Dolly
and a train station
was named for Ethel
