Leah and Peregrine Pistone, both freshmen attending George Mason University, credit their loving family for encouraging them in their desire to learn and experience new things.
This year, their family received the 11th annual Alan and Sally Merten Family of the Year Award at Mason’s Family Weekend. Ken, Leah and Peregrine’s father, wrote a three-page, newsletter-style essay, complete with photos, explaining why their family should be nominated.
