CORRECTIONS
Winter 2023 Ramview , Vol . 43 , Issue 1
In the cover story , “ You ’ re Always From the Bronx ,” ( page 7 ) we mistakenly listed the instrument played at Pugsley ’ s Pizza as a harmonica . It is a saxophone .
The Ramview News article , “ Meet the 2023 Arredondo STEM Scholarship Winners ,” ( page 17 ) incorrectly states that the scholarship requires candidates to take two advanced STEM courses . It actually requires six .
Our recap article on the 2022 Hall of Honor Ceremony ( page 29 ) misspelled the last name of Tim Brighton ’ 61 as Bryden .
SO MANY GREAT PLACES IN THE BRONX !
