Croton Memorial Day; Christine Turturro, "Amazing Grace" (Acapella)

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.

Rabbi Jakes gave a thoughtful closing prayer.

My friend Vinnie Stack, who is a marine veteran.

NIce sentiment -

 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.

Oops--I see it was Vinnie Stack. Thanks!

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,
