FOR THE RECORD - July 24, 2009

Norman Ollestad: A profile of author Norman Ollestad in the Calendar section June 12 said the rows of shacks and bungalows where Ollestad grew up at Topanga Beach were demolished when “the city exerted eminent domain and demolished the neighborhood.” The land was in fact a part of unincorporated Los Angeles County; the houses were removed when the California State Parks reclaimed the property for public use.
