The downpours of Saturday couldn’t dampen the spirits of Peekskill’s Irish community as they marched through the streets of downtown to the lilt of bagpipes and drums. Grand Marshall Governor George Pataki was joined by Aides Pete Peterson, Fr. Vernon Wickrematunge, Pam Sgori, Rich Jackson. All photos by Student Photographer Damien Ritter.
