U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor administered the oath of office to Vice President Joe Biden. She’s a product of Bronx Catholic schools and the Bronxdale Houses, and there she was at the Capitol for the inauguration, with all manner of statesmen and celebrities and children of privilege.
And there she was the next day, on the Jon Stewart show, plugging her memoirs, in which she speaks of her time at Blessed Sacrament School in Soundview.
And the next day, The New York Archdiocese said it will close that school in June.
Paul LaRosa, former Daily News reporter and a CBS news producer, wrote his memoirs last year, about coming of age in the Monroe Houses, and going to Blessed Sacrament School.
