Writer agrees, LDC should stay open

10-30-01

To the editor:

I agree with your article. I grew up in Lincoln. And while I don’t live there anymore, and I’m not totally aware of the problems at LDC, I believe that it needs to remain open!!

I have a second cousin who has lived there for years... Where would he (and MANY) others go? My grandfather, Robert Dowell, worked there for many years. He along with many others did what many of us wouldn’t or can’t do. And it’s because of those caring individuals and the people that live there that it should stay open.

Michelle Durbin

[Commentary article by Mike Fak: "A place that most of us wish didn’t exist -- LDC, an integral part of this community, an integral part of our humanity," posted Oct. 24]
