I have a list of the 1964 graduating class.<br />If you are not aware of the Pedro Pan Exudus of over 14,000 children out of Cuba from 1960 to 1962, go to www.pedropan.orgarmandob43@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998936422915177299.post-2665726640021890152010-08-26T13:15:58.007-05:002010-08-26T13:15:58.007-05:00Nice post.

I had never heard of the school so a quick Google search lead me to your blog. The order of nuns that ran HFA also ran our school many years ago: The Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary. It's a small order. I'm sure many of the nuns who taught at Holy Family Academy still live in the motherhouse in Kankakee.<br /><br />Thanks for the informative post!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767158161188555790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998936422915177299.post-34315021324698943682009-08-24T04:54:43.299-05:002009-08-24T04:54:43.299-05:00Nice post.
