Yet, it is only ink on paper, the work of one man’s hand, until it comes to full flower with the concerted effort of a choir and orchestra.

New owners of the Mount Vernon Tap, Jennie and Walter Heinrich, and staff person Hannah Donlin, delivered pizza to members of the Belleville football program to celebrate their amazing football season.
