Lincoln Daily News
welcomes letters of appreciation, information and
opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

To the editor: Stanley Paulis, a longtime member and volunteer at
the Heritage In Flight Museum, passed away a few weeks ago.
The word "hero" is overused in society today, but Stan was a REAL
hero.
During World War II he flew 67 missions over German-occupied
territory.
Stan came to the museum and mowed grass every Saturday until his
and his wife's health (issues) took their toll.
The museum is now embarking on a project to re-landscape the area
around the American flagpole location, which is dedicated to the men
and women who served in WWII and all the wars since.
[to top of second column in this letter] |
I and other members of the museum will be donating $100 to the
museum to complete this project.
If you have not yet made a donation to honor Stan, this is a good
time and a worthy cause. Send your donation to HIF, 1351 Airport
Rd., Lincoln, IL 62656
