email from Mark Palma, Aug 2010: "Dominic DiVecchio was a great teacher and mentor of mine when I lived in Aliquippa. We were both members of the MPIC band when it was located on Fourth Ave. Plan 11. As band director of the AHS band , he allowed me to sit-in with the band when I was in seventh grade. I was very grateful for his gesture. He and his friend Frank Musante played the trumpet very well. They both could wail. He was great at picking music that made the AHS band sound so great. What a great man."
