Corrections and apology

Good morning.
"And the beat goes on................................."

I would like to apologize for the following inexcusable errors in yesterday's 2011 Top 25 listing post:

First to Kate Levin for getting her name wrong and listing her as Kate Lerner;

Second, to Ra Joy and Donna Collins. Ra Joy is the head of the Arts Alliance Illinois and was erroneously listed as the head of the Ohio Citizens for the Arts - which is run by Donna Collins - whose name should have been listed jointly with Ra Joy. In all the cutting and pasting involved in this blog, somehow an early draft of that section made it to the final post; and

Third, John McGuirk is the Program DIRECTOR of the Performing Arts Program at the Hewlett Foundation.

Finally, Diane Ragsdale informs me she was "a program staffer" at the Mellon Foundation. 

These errors were completely my fault and I am solely responsible. Though unintended, this is completely unprofessional, and I am sincerely embarassed, and apologize to each of the above individuals and to all the readers.

Corrections have now been made on the site itself. 

Don't Quit (although perhaps its getting closer to the time I ought to).
