Our Aug. 11 editorial regarding the Town Hall on local disasters noted that some people have injected opinion into historical record. Staff at the Museum of South Texas History, which plays host to the Aug. 13 event in Edinburg, wish to ensure that everyone understands that the event will focus on the gathering oral histories from the community. People who attend will be asked specific questions about their own experiences with local disasters so that the project can gather the most accurate information possible.

We regret any misunderstanding our editorial might have caused.
