I've sometimes had a love-hate relationship with Greenwich. This year's award ceremony at Hamilton Ave. School was definitely a time to feel the love. Graduating seniors who attended Hamilton Ave. return to be recognized and to speak with 5th graders. Vito Sperduto, a successful businessman and Harvard graduate, returns every year to pay it forward. He told the students how he arrived at Hamilton Ave. from Italy in the 1970's not speaking much English. This year he gave a scholarship to Nicole LaPointe-Jameson who will attend Columbia University. I met Nicole and her proud parents, Noel and Lise, when I served as interim principal at Hamilton Ave. in 2005.
