    *THE GRYPHON, FALL 2022: CORRECTION
    Due to an editorial error, in "A Donor's Story" (page 6), the second sentence in the second paragraph should read: And then I learned its fascinating back story—invented by Albert Rakovsky, a refugee from Hitler. [Instead of: And then I learned its fascinating back story—invented by Albert Rakovsky, a refugee from Hitler's Germany.]
