Default Addendum to Parker Pages Spring 2017 Issue

With Apologies...

It has been brought to my attention that there was a confusing omission of text from the last paragraph of page 13 to the continuation of that paragraph on page 14 of the Parker Pages Review of Books: Hunting and Home in the Southern Heartland - The Best of Archibald Rutledge submitted by Charles Ray Matthews.

The paragraph in its entirety should read as follows -

One of my favorite chapters is a compilation of a group of stories that describe his halcyon childhood days at Hampton and how when the time came, he was forced to leave his friends and family to attend Union College in New York. Even though his family was better off than most, there was no money for college, but AR was able to obtain a writing scholarship to pay for college. Being from the South, he always said he felt like a stranger in a strange land when he lived up north. This chapter really helps the reader appreciate his love of the Carolina “Low Country” and Hampton Plantation and helps explain why it was AR's mission in life to someday return to his old home place after spending 30 years teaching at Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania after college.

A brief explanation - This may be the first time I've witnessed this..... When the contents of the magazine is sent to the publisher I have edited every word of every page for all of those things an editor needs to look for and correct. This particular article was sent to the publisher complete and perfect (I still have a copy of the article in my Parker Pages archive folders).

The publisher sends a proof copy of the magazine for my approval. I notify them of any changes that need to be made and subsequently 'approve' the magazine to go to print.

I take full responsibility for not catching this omission on the proof copy and notifying the publisher of the mistake.

Best, Dean

Bill, that's a classic justification for a Playboy subscription, only vice-versa.

Dean just shut up.
I just got out of a hot tub, drinking red wine and reading the new PP after a long afternoon walking the CT River meadows with two young labs.
I was just about to post about what a great job you did in an incredibly difficult short time frame. You fixed up my hasty article on the Annual Meeting, put in a picture of my beautiful better half and the other fine women in attendance, got in a great article by Brian Dudley on a CP contract stocker (I'm gonna rip off all my trigger guards tomorrow!!), slipped in a nice article by Mills M. on the Vegas show and much more.
Most of us would never notice any error without your confession.
Just shut up.
