Correction

In the obituary for Ms. Ann Rhoads (Almanac April 11, 2006), we inadvertently omitted some of her survivors: her sister, Sr. Shawn Maguire S.N.D.; brothers, J. Patrick Maguire, Daniel Maguire, and Michael Maguire. Also, Ms. Rhoads is only survived by one parent, John C. Maguire. We regret the errors.                                       —Eds.
