Corrections & Amplifications
- In the Around The Drive... article, Handy Services, page 3,
the correct description of the wood quantity is "face cord," not "fish cord."
A face cord is 1/3 of a standard cord, so a truckload would be 2/3 of
a standard cord, or 67%, not 80%.
- Roy Lukes' phone number was incorrect. It should be (920) 823-2478. Ordering info
for his latest book is at Roy's web site.
- The Friendship Bible Coffees Web link was misspelled.
NOTE: All these items have been corrected in the Newsletter download version.
