Why do these newspaper reporters so often screw up the facts? This day and age, with Google at your fingertips why not search info and get the facts right. If you don’t know what you are doing or are not sure, look it up. A reporters job is to get it right.
The article never mentions that Huxley follows Mike Smith and Denny Payton in death.
