Correction!
An error inadvertently was
made in last week’s issue of the
Cheechako News in listing- the
names of those spearheading the
fund raising drive for the second
annual Alaska State Champion
ship Dog Races.
The news item mentioned Tom
Hurd and Jack Thompson, both of
Soldotna as heading the program
in Soldotna. Instead of Thompson
the name should have read Jack
Johnson.
Johnson. Village Shopping Cen
ter owner, is Soldotna Chamber
of Commerce dog race committee
chairman. Thompson, who was er
roneously named in the article,
is manager of Superior Building
Supply in Kenai.
