CORNWALL — It was a hot, hazy day on the Cornwall Village Green, Monday, May 28, as families and friends gathered to celebrate Memorial Day. Crowds of flag-bearing children gathered along the sides of Pine Street in anticipation of the parade, hoping to catch candy thrown from passing vehicles. Marching in the parade were the Cornwall Consolidated School band, flag-bearing veterans led by Parade Marshal Ralph Sandmeyer Jr., and the volunteer fire department.
