I love pace very good!

I'm a 1983 graduate of the school. I was born in Peru in 1965 and moved to the States in 1980 with my older brother George to live with our dad (parents divorced). My brother was murdered in 1980 three months upon arrival. I had just enrolled at Pace. I remember how kind and supportive the entire staff (brothers and sisters) and specially Father Hennessy were towards my family. Best school ever!
