ENGAGING COMMUNITY CONNECT CONGRATS RANTS+RAVES Beth Shippert-Myers' name was inadvertently attached to the wrong Rave in "Raves & Faves," (p. 46, November 2013). Her Rave in answer to, "If you had one last meal to enjoy in Madison, what and where would it be?" is as follows: "It would be Takara on Whitney Way, because of the service. Every time we show up with our toddler we are greeted with smiles and open arms. We even have a wonderful waitress who recognizes our daughter and whisks her off to show her the fish tank, giving us some lovely couple time. We moved here from the Gulf—we're picky. Best sushi in Madison, hands down." —Beth Shippert-Myers I love this magazine (November 2013) and read it from front to back. —Jodi Marino, via email Lindsey—not Lisa—Hoel-Neds contributed a Rave about her "last meal" in Madison (at Monty's Blue Plate Diner) in "Raves & Faves" (p. 46, November 2013). In her note she added: "I have been a fan of BRAVA since you featured my grandparents in a Valentine's article several years ago, and will continue to enjoy the magazine." Thanks, Lindsey! "Deciding Factors," (p. 52, October 2013) inaccurately reported that actress Angelina Jolie's mother died of breast cancer; in fact, she died due to ovarian cancer. Both cancers are linked to the BRCA1 gene mutation. The error was entirely our own insertion, and not that of writer Sandra Knisely.
