Mason Grand Master Tracy Bloom asks the audience to catch his top hat if it got blown off by the wind, Oct. 7.

The Jammin' Northstars, from Northview Elementary School, react as strong winds gust during the Cornerstone Dedication Ceremony Oct. 7. The Northstars sang "Home on the Range" as well as the "Star Spangled Banner."

The last time a cornerstone was placed in Manhattan was 1962.
