            [April 02, 2012]      Send a link to a friend 
			Saturday afternoon 
			hundreds of people showed up at Lincoln Christian Church to 
			deliver well-wishes in person to Dr. Steven Kottemann. He 
			has retired from the medical profession after several months of 
			controversy with Family Medical Center in Lincoln.  
			In his career in Logan 
			County, he has treated thousands of patients, and many of them came 
			to tell him he will be missed and loved always. Pictures by Nila Smith |

			The line inside the Lincoln 
			Christian Church Fellowship Hall began the moment guests stepped inside the door. | 
			
			 
			It wound its way throughout the hall. |

            | 
			
			 
			Folks nearing the entrance to the small board 
			room at the church stood in line for quite some time. | 
			
			 
			Beyond these doors Dr. Kottemann and his family 
			stood greeting those who had waited so long to see him. |  | 
          
            | 
			
			 
			Dr. Kottemann greets those who pass by.

			Guests were invited to participate in 
			refreshments before making their way out of the room. | 
              | 
          
            | 
			
			 
			Among the items on this table is a framed 
			letter from the city of Lincoln.  On Saturday morning during 
			their budget meeting, aldermen took time out to sign the letter, 
			written by Mayor Keith Snyder. | 
			
			 
			On the way out, two well-wishers stop to 
			take a look at the Dr. Kottemann history board.
