Just in time, the Kirkpatrick family shipped 30 cornets, 8 music stands and various music books to Brian House, leader of HOPE FOR HAITI (www.hopeforhaiti.com).

The instruments, all cleaned, oiled and polished by Jessie Rawson, Christie Kirkpatrick and Scotty Kirkpatrick, were evaluated and repaired (when necessary) by retired Longview music educator Richard Uthmann, a certified National Instrument Repair Technician.

The horns will soon be used by students at a school on the Haitian island of Ile-a-Vache.
