Whose father was a trustee?[edit]

The section on the Bruce Dern incident says,

Press accounts at the time noted that Doherty's father was a Chicago lawyer and a University of Pennsylvania Trustee.

That seems odd to me; was it Dern’s father who was the trustee? — crism (talk) 22:32, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's a typo. It was Dern's father who was the trustee. I'll fix it now.Cbl62 (talk) 06:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
