Corrections
The Record-Review mistakenly wrote that John Schug’s parents are Randy and Kristin Schug in the Athens Someone You Should Know profile in last week’s Feb. 12 newspaper. John Schug’s parents are actually Bill and Jenna Schug.
The Record-Review accidentally wrote in last week’s Athens locals section Connnor Westfall was shown in the first Westfall Scholarship Award picture. Tanner Westfall is actually in the picture with his parents, Dale and Tracy Westall, and award winner Seth Coker.
Athens High School seniors who’ll graduate this spring and plan to pursue a post-secondary education at an accredited technical college or university can now apply for the Tucker Westfall Scholarship before Tuesday, March 31. Students can discover how to apply for the scholarship by visiting www.westfallstrong. com.
