Dear Editor:

Having moved away from Lincoln over 6 years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find the LDN. It's a great way to keep in touch with the news from my hometown! Congratulations on a professional communication piece that shows that Lincoln is keeping up with the times. Keep up the good work!

To the editor:

If possible, and if they have home computers, I would be interested in hearing from old High School Buddies from Lincoln. I grew up there and attended school, grades 1 through 12. I left in 1959 to join the Marines and after five years serving in the "Far East", I was discharged and became a Diplomat in the Foreign Service (Federal Government). During my career of 27 years, all but one assignment was overseas, from Asia, to Africa, to Eastern Europe, South America and the Middle East. Having been abducted three times, a hostage in the 1979 Embassy in Tehran and shot at and tracked in Bogota, Colombia I feel now that I am retired and living in Southwest Texas, on the Mexican border it, would be a good time to see if the following individuals are still around and would like to contact me. They are, Jug Mallerage, Laverne Turner, Jim Leslie, Jim Cave and any others that may remember me from our old school days. My e-mail address is okihanna@hiline.net

It's refreshing and exciting to see a local news source that is ethical and honest! You present articles of interest to your readers with no other motivation than to provide us with information without a hidden agenda utilizing misleading headlines and editorial commentary.

Thank you.
