Dear Jeff:

I'd like to see newspaper & other media outlets get their historical dates right. Sarah O'Donnell of The Edmonton Journal had former Premier Don Getty being listed as having been in office from 1986-1992. This is clearly inaccurate, b/c even if its just a few weeks, Premier Getty took office as Premier from the retiring E. Peter Lougheed in November 1985, not at any timeframe in 1986.

Students Take Note Historical Dating Is Important,

Rory
