The Skyline View would like to acknowlege and apologize for not properly attributing sources in regards to information in this story. The information was taken from a story by the San Matean on April 15 2007. There were two lines that were not cited, those being:
“Skyline established a scholarship in honor of Albinder, The Boris Albinder Memorial Scholarship is a $1000 scholarship for continuing Skyline students.”
We also did not cite the picture provided with the article, and that has since been replaced with one of our own stock photos. Again we apologize for these mistakes and are working to prevent this from happening again.
