Bill Graham's passing: I sent out a notice about Bill Graham's funeral last week that said nothing would be in this week's Alleghany News about his passing. I meant to say that since he died on a Wednesday nothing was in the previous week's issue. I also said he died of cancer. I've been informed that was not correct. These are the kind of mistakes I make when I'm in hurry. I just wanted to set the record straight. It was a very nice celebration of the life of an interested fellow citizen.
