Memorial Day Tribute
Local artist Herb Roesch completes another shed mural. This time, the subject matter could not be more meaningful. The mural is dedicated to the memory of Robert W Emms of the United States Navy. If you look closely, you can see the outline of a Navy ship floating on the blue horizon with our National Flag as a backdrop.
