Does anyone know why they are there?

I heard that he attended the old PS 9 on Sterling at Vanderbilt.

90 Years Old and has his own blog!
Fascinating content.

Did you know Clara Bow (The It Girl), Howard Cosell and Aaron Copland went to Old PS 9 on the corner of Vanderbilt and Sterling...Well they did and only one was a gargoyle.

Joan Rivers is also from the 'hood.
