Brooklyn Eagle’s Cuba Journal: Happy birthday, Judge Pesce
The Brooklyn Bar Association’s (BBA) second full day in Cuba was all about celebrating Justice Michael Pesce’s 73rd birthday. The group sang “happy birthday” to him on five separate occasions, starting the night before.
“I’ve celebrated quite a few birthdays in my life, and I’m sure that this will be one of the most memorable in my life,” Pesce said. “To show my appreciation for all of you, when I go to heaven and I don’t see any of you there, I’m going to carve your names on those golden stairs. And to prove to you that I’m a friend, I’ll go down to hell and hangout with all of you.”
