Correction Of Stephentown FD Installation Story

By

In our story about the Stephentown Fire Department Installation Dinner in last week’s issue (January 14), we erroneously referred to Henry Zwack as the father of newly installed Fire Chief, Joseph Zwack. As everyone knows, Henry is Joey’s uncle. Joseph Zwack is the son of proud parents Frank and Debbie Zwack. We apologize to the Zwacks for the error.
In the same story, we also goofed on the Active Service Awards and inadvertently took ten years off the service of Tammy Madden and Steve Whitman. Tammy and Steve were recognized for achieving 25 years of service, not 15 years as we reported. Congratulations and our apologies to both.
