Nice turnout – probably 300 people.

Christine is a wonderful talent – she will be at Niagara University next year in a special BFA program.

 

And here are some pictures from the 11AM Memorial Day gathering and the Croton HS band, at the end of the ceremony.

 HA! The Croton HS band did a great job – they were playing as people left – but no one left until they finished!

    Thank you Tom. We couldn’t get there today but we did spot the vet with the great shirt afterwards and got a snapshot; do you know who it was?
    I will post the link to the amazing Christine on Everything Croton.

    We look forward to this event every year. Such a tribute to our veterans….it is heartwarming. Of course, Amazing Grace is the icing on the cake. We wish Christine Turturro the very best at Niagara University,
