We at KHS are “over the moon” thrilled by the NY Knickerbockers’ NBA championship! But what’s in the name? Does anyone remember Knickerbocker beer? Or the Washington Irving origins of Mr Diedrich Knickerbocker?

Newspaper accounts tell of Mr Knickerbocker being seen in the Kingsbridge and Spuyten Duyvil vicinity. Curious? See the comments section for a link to the KHS forum.

This Sunday at Edgehill- support KHS accessibility project and have fun! 11am - 4:00pm.
