Corrections:
From Jim Glendinning: In the Cenizo
Journal, 4th quarter 2014, profile of Missy
Cantrell there were several errors: I wrongly
called her father Royce Cantrell instead of
Royce Franklin; as a youngster Missy broke
both collar bones, not one collar bone, after a
fall off a horse. I stated she trained a colt a year,
which was false. She trained numerous colts
over a 40-year period. Her tasty cooking for
hunters includes salmon and enchiladas, not
salmon enchiladas. For these careless and
unprofessional errors, my sincere apologies to
Missy Cantrell and our readers.
