Memorial Day Parade and Concert… The oldest continually running Memorial Day Parade in the country marched through our own Third Avenue on Monday. To me, it was the best and largest parade in a long time. The ceremony at John Paul Jones Park (aka Cannonball Park) was a beautiful affair. Next, at around 2:30 p.m. in Greenwood Cemetery, the talented InterSchool Orchestra of New York (ISO) under the direction of equally talented Brian Worsdale performed a marvelous musical tribute to Brooklyn and war veterans alike. Maestro Marty Markowitz led the musical celebration by conducting The Liberty Bell by John Phillip Sousa to thunderous applause.
