Corrections and omissions
• In the Dec. 1 edition of the Post-Register, the article about Don Bunch incorrectly stated that he stained his wood creations. Bunch does not apply stain to his work, only clear coats of finish.
• The Nov. 24 article on Aubrey Strong left out the name of his great-grandson Caden “Strong” Cameron.
