Yonkers native James Gavin, center, the author of three books including his latest, “Stormy Weather: The Life of Lena Horne”, stands with his former second grade teacher Sister. Theresa Luciano, and Msgr. Hugh Corrigan, before speaking to a group of students at his alma mater, St. Mary’s School in Yonkers, this past Thursday, reports photographer Mark Vergari.
The 1978 graduate spoke inside of the 161-year-old parish hall, and told the children to “find the things they love the most” and to follow their dreams and work hard at it.
Growing up, he said he loved to read, and during his school visit he encouraged the children to do the same and said that “books would open up the whole world.”
