For more than fifteen years now, the Beaufort Harbormasters have delivered Singing Valentines all around the Beaufort area. They have sung to sweethearts, wives, lovers, hospital patients and nurses, (even doctors), senior centers, office staff, Marine Corps families, restaurant and gallery patrons, firefighters, police officers, private parties, political meetings . . . and all sorts of innocent bystanders. What a way to spread the love.
