More Photos From Queens Flag Day Celebrations
 As shown in top photo, a crowd of 100 youngsters were on hand to celebrate Flag Day at the Maple Grove Cemetery in Kew Gardens on Monday, June 14. Among those on hand for the event were members of the Franklin K. Lane High School ROTC program, students from P.S. 99 in Kew Gardens, Holy Child Jesus School in Richmond Hill and Fr. Thomas Gilbert of St. Benedict Church in Richmond Hill, as well as Bonnie Dixon, general manager of Maple Grove Cemetery. As shown in bottom photo, Tom Lopez (at right) lent his 1928 Model A Ford to the Sunnyside Flag Day festivities; Lopez and Paul Maringelli (at left) carried the banner for the Bix Beiderbecke Sunnyside Memorial. Maringelli, who coordinates an annual concert in honor of the famed jazz musician who died in his Sunnyside apartment in 1931, reported that this year’s concert will be held on Saturday, Aug. 7, under the Sunnyside Arch, at 4 p.m. (top photo: Joseph Epstein)
