HCCS students work with Assembly Member Bores and State Senator Kruger to protect the Greys
On May 7th, HCCS students Solomon R. ('24) , Lucas A. ('26), members of the historic Knickerbocker Greys youth cadet corp founded in 1881, traveled to Albany to present the Colors on the floors of the NY State Senate & Assembly in Albany, tour the Capitol and participate in legislative committee meetings as guests of NY State Senator Liz Krueger and Assembly Member Alex Bores.
The Greys have been working with Assembly Member Bores to draft, present and revise a bill to protect the institution and its traditional home in the Park Ave Armory; Bill A7686 HCES student Emily C ('32) is a member of this venerable corp as well.
