Kerry Dougherty's column appears in the Hampton Roads section of The Virginian-Pilot every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Jane, June what's the diff?

If  you saw today's New York Times, you couldn't miss the color photo - above the fold - of an emotional member of the Virginia delegation.

"June Van Ostern."

I just ran into this newly minted celebrity in my hotel corridor. She gushed that it was an "honor" to be on the front of the Times.

If only they'd gotten her first name right.

It's Jane, not June.

Geez. I thought The New York Times never made mistakes. Who's writing their captions, Jayson Blair?

(Jane blames her penmanship for the mix-up. The photog asked her to write down her name. She didn't have her glasses.)
