In response to retraction of photo

Editor, The Sun:

This is my response to your retraction of my mistake. The photo was not misrepresented. It was an unintentional mistake. If it was indeed from 2013, I still have it listed as 2017. However, as I told you on the phone, I had dumped them all into a folder titled “Airport Photos 2017.” When I went back to use it later in 2017, the date of use changed from 2013 to 2017 and the 2013 date disappeared forever. It’s automatic with my old and simple program called MS Digital Image Suite.
Thank you,

Bill Catalina

Editor’s Note on pedestrian death

We received an email from a reader requesting a correction on a front page story about the pedestrian killed on Bloxham Cutoff: the reader, who lives near the site of the accident, said the person killed was a flag man with a crew doing installation work along the road right-of-way and the van came off the road and hit the worker. “Your article makes it sound like he was just walking down the hwy when he was actually working,” the reader wrote.
Consider this a correction. To be clear, the story relied on information released by the Florida Highway Patrol in its fatality report.
