Corrections<br />
Correction: The article about Brooke (Hoffman) Ridinger at Catoctin<br />
Veterinary Clinic was dubbed “Animal Lover Becomes Vet Tec” incorrectly.<br />
It should have read “Animal Lover Becomes Veterinarian.” There’s a big<br />
difference between a Vet Tec and a Veterinarian as Brooke well knows since<br />
she completed several more years of education. Big apologies to Brooke for<br />
that error. See that article on page 8 for the correction.<br />
