Clarification

  Apologies to the Rev. Arthur Haymon, who is the pastor of the
Fort Jesup Baptist Church. The Rev. Haymon, who pastored the church
from November 1976 through April 1986, was called to a church in
Natchitoches. Unbeknownst to the INDEX staff, he was called back to
Fort Jesup in October 1999. The Rev. Haymon officiated at the funeral
services of Sommer Taylor, but was not properly identified as the
church pastor. It was also noted that Miss Taylor had been baptized
in October 2000, almost nine months before her untimely death on
July 2.
