Sacred Heart Library Book Returned After 33 Years

Staff members returning to school at Academy of the Sacred Heart in Bloomfield got a surprise on Friday.

Director of Enrichment Agostino Visocchi opened the mail to find a copy of the book T.S. Eliot by Leonard Unger, accompanied by a note from a former student who said she was returning the book after 33 years.

The note read:

"It was just a great moment, a nice lighthearted moment to start off the day," he said.
