The name of Roy Jorgenson and his wife Kathy of Thief River Falls were inadvertently omitted from the obituary of Mary Jorgenson which appeared in last week's edition of The Times.
Roy is among the 10 sons who survive Mrs. Jorgenson who passed away on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 at Birchwood Health Care Center in Forest Lake at the age of 100.
The Times regrets this error and apologizes to Mr. Jorgenson.
