line last week to point out
that while we did publicly
correct the spelling of the
last name of 4th National
Junior Convention Candi-
date for Delegate Vivian
Marie Dubcich, Campbell,
Calf, we still failed to
"admit" that we spotted
her Nest 246 in the wrong
city.
True, we did come out
in a recent article to say
that Miss Dubcich's Nest
was located in Fresno.
Which, as time proved, was
wrong. We should have as
sociated Nest GAG with San
Jose instead. Our apologies,
Miss Dubcich, for the faux
pas.
And that's that!
