Len Fasano 1977 and Billy Porto 2019 Share Honors

Congratulations to alumnus Len Fasano, Class of 1977, who was honored along with Hamden Hall senior Billy Porto (soon to be alumnus Class of 2019!) at the 59th anniversary of the Casey-O'Brien chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Scholar Athlete awards on March 29. Len was presented the Distinguished American Award. He has served as a state senator in Connecticut since 2003. Billy was recognized for his prowess on the gridiron and in the classroom. Len, by the way, received the same award during his senior year at Hamden Hall. Len, pictured second from left, is a former Hamden Hall trustee. He and his wife Jill are past parents of three alumni children, Kristen Sharpe, Class of 2006, Rob, Class of 2009, and Karla, Class of 2012. Billy is joined by his grandparents, Carl Porto Sr., a Hamden Hall trustee, and Terry Porto, who retired as a first-grade teacher in 2016 after 31 years of service.
