Congratulations are in order to Governor Hochul and the Knickerbocker Greys. Her Honor has signed into law a requirement that the 7th Regiment Armory on Park Avenue must provide quarters to the Greys, the oldest patriotic youth organization in the country. By rights this should end the effort of the cultural conservancy that is the Armory’s main tenant to oust the armory’s last link to regimental glory.
