Corrections to Daily Telegraph hospital and photo captions
In the July 29 Daily Telegraph story the hospital name should read Princeton Memorial Hospital not Princeton Medical Hospital. PMH controls four nursing homes and Princeton Community Hospital. PCH Association governs the PCH Board which oversees the PMH Board. The photo from Music in the Square misidentified Donna Hagerman as Dora Hagerman.
