I want to correct an error that was inadvertently made in my column last Thursday, my great-great niece, Sophie Davison’s birthday, July 25, was omitted. Sophie is the daughter of Derrick and Ashley Davison and celebrated her ninth birthday. Her little bother, Dylan Davison, will celebrate his seventh birthday July 29. Happy birthday and wishes go out to both of them!
