WASHINGTON — Correction on names

Due to a reporter’s error, two names were incorrect in Saturday’s I-69 bridge naming ceremony story.

Instead of Donald Rice, Donna Kenworthy’s father should have been named Donald McBride and Laurie Gress should have been spelled Lori Gress.

We apologize for the error.
