Dear Editor,

Recently, as I browsed the most recent edition of the UCC, I was shocked to find a picture with a caption indicating it was of me and my Saint John friends.  I knew immediately that this was an error:  The people in the picture are no longer my friends, so the caption under the  picture is wrong.  Also, you may be unaware of the recent decision in the United States that the Dixie flag is considered racist, but since then I would never use that flag as a curtain as indicated in the picture!  I now  use the State of Alabama (smartest place on earth) flag as a curtain in that particular window, with the flags of Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas and Georgia to cover the remainder of my windows.  If you could simply print a retraction, I would really appreciate it.
