:• Correction In the Aug. 6 article about / the Rappahannock rescue squad’s receiving the Call of the Year award, it was incorv rectly stated that Hubert S. Gilkey and his son Bert were the first two rescue personnel ** on the scene of the truck/car accident last July. t Actually, Hubert Gilkey and Richie Burke were the ~~ first to arrive. They responded from a job site near '* the accident scene. As the J\ first line-officer on the scene, Capt. Burke, of the Sperryville VFD, took command of the accident scene and ad*; vised the dispatcher to request that the Pegasus medevac helicopter be dispatched. The Rappahannock News regrets the error.
