Forever Homes Found: Mozart, Maverick T., and Brodie

The morning hummed with an energy that altered the normal cadence of post-breakfast turnouts. The concentration of red clad team members in the cross ties; currying, brushing, polishing…and “green-spotting” trumped even our annual calendar photo shoot.
