The Brooklyn Paper
It is no small leap from Bay Ridge Ragamuffin to Supreme Court Justice.
State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Schack recently traded in his gavel and relived his days as a Ragamuffin when he administered the oath of office to the new president of the Children’s Ragamuffin Parade Organization, Colleen Golden.
Justice Schack, a former Ragamuffin Grand Marshall, also swore in Secretary Arlene Keating, Treasurer Joseph Conly and standing, in for her mom, Vice President Kelly Rignola at the Bay Ridge Manor on Jan. 8.
“Every group under the sun has a parade in its honor, but the Ragamuffin Parade is the only parade that celebrates being a kid,” a Ragamuffin source told The Brooklyn Paper. “And to have the Justice on hand for the swearing in made it quite the event.”
The group’s next parade will be on Sept. 27.
