Three Rose Court Finalists Are From Altadena

Three of the 34 finalists for the Tournament of Roses' Rose Court, which were announced Thursday, are from Altadena.

The three from Altadena are Kimberly Ostiller, who attends Flintridge Preparatory School, Lois Gordon, who attends Pasadena High School, and Teni Jebian, who attends Pasadena City College, according to Vanessa Flores, a spokeswoman for the Tournament of Roses.

The picture on right shows the entire group of 34 finalists.  Once selected, the queen and her court will reign over the 123rd Rose Parade and the 98th Rose Bowl Game.  The court will be announced Monday.

Laura Monteros, writing over at the Altadena Examiner, has much more on the background information on the young women from Altadena, as well as two Pasadena contenders, one of whom tells Monteros that while her home address is in Pasadena, her bedroom may actually be in Altadena.
