I goofed. In last month’s issue, I incorrectly identified annual meeting prize winner Jerry Prescott as Larry Prescott.

It’s not the first time that has happened to Jerry because Larry was his twin brother. However, it was bittersweet because Larry had just passed away on April 19. At the annual meeting I shared with Jerry and his wife Pat that I had watched a good portion of Larry’s funeral service online and how much I knew he would be missed, especially by his grandchildren. We also discussed an article that the brothers had authored for Carolina Country. The next day Jerry emailed me with the month and year of the issue. To make amends and to honor Larry, we are making the article available on our social media feeds and at carolinacountry.com.
