Editors:

In the July 20 story, "The Rev. Conrad Thompson, former Lutheran Vespers
Speaker, Dies," there was an error.  The school at which Thompson taught
music was incorrectly identified.  What is correct is that he taught
music at  Pomeroy High School in Pomeroy, Iowa.  Please replace the
first two sentences in the sixth paragraph with these sentences:

Thompson was born on a farm near Valders, Wis., April 2, 1917.  He
earned a bachelor of arts degree in music at St. Olaf College,
Northfield, Minn., in 1939, and taught music at Pomeroy High School,
Pomeroy, Iowa, from 1939 to 1942.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
