Letter to the editor: Celebrate Fourth by helping a veteran
The eruption and crackle of vibrant fireworks across the July night sky isn’t always beautiful.

The 2001 Burrell baseball season had a little of everything. Start with a quest for a school-first undefeated regular season, then a game that took three days to complete, three games decided by wild pitches, capped with a trip to the PIAA title game. As that 22-2 team looks back...
