Letters to the Editor: 1-29-00 To the editor: I have just looked at the first issue of LDN. I think that it is fantastic that Lincoln/Logan County has this new resource. I am looking forward to future issues, and have put your link on my Personal Toolbar. J.Robert Rankin
1-29-00 Dear Editor: Thank you for writing the article about 'Y Can Do' - it is wonderful! It is fantastic to have a quality paper that emphasizes the good things in our community. The entire Y staff thanks you and will now look forward to reading the paper every day. We were all like a bunch of little kids at Christmas reading the 1st edition yesterday! Muchos gracias- Angie Peters
1-29-00 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 there, 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. George A. McKinney
1-29-00 Dear Editor: Great job...Good format...I may have to get a computer at home now just to get the scoop...Congratulations!!! Dave Hawkinson
1-28-00 To the editor: 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. Laurel (Fuzz )Werth

2-3-00 To the editor: I found out today about your site and I am looking forward to a fresh, straight forward report of the Logan County news. Excellent idea, good luck!! Michael R. Patridge
2-3-00 Dear Editor: Just wanted to say I'm enjoying your web site. I'm originally from Lincoln, and I moved away in 1982. So it's great to be able to look at the news from your site. I check it every day. Thanks again. Jane Voyles
2-2-00 Dear Editor: Thank you so much for LDN. I was raised in Lincoln and graduated from LCHS in 1992 and also have family here. I now live in Arthur, Ill., and like to know what's going on in my home town. From what I've seen so far, you've got a good thing going here. Keep up the good work. Michelle (LaMaster) Durbin
2-2-00 Dear Editor: As coordinator of Logan County Teen Court, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Logan County State’s Attorney Bill Workman for his tireless efforts in helping the American Legion Auxiliary get Logan County Teen Court established. Many trips to Knox County to view their Teen Court program were necessary, and Mr. Workman made those trips after work hours. He also acts as legal counsel, supplies us with judges each month for all cases, and he, himself, has been at all 29 cases we have completed thus far. He has given considerable time that involves work beyond what he does in his office on a daily basis. I wonder how many state’s attorneys would take that much time out of their after-work schedule to make this program happen and continue each month all year long. Mr. Workman believes in the program. He is committed to helping the youth in our county and has a very good rapport with each and every student involved with the program. Not only is this program of great benefit to the court system, it is also extremely important for our youth. Our community will see yet untold benefits of this program. Thanks to State’s Attorney Bill Workman, a dream has come true for me. A "Teen Court" to help teenagers in trouble has been established and is making a difference in the lives of our youth. Mrs. Dorothy Morrow
2-2-00 Dear Editor: Thanks for LDN. We enjoy reading hometown news while we're in Florida for the winter. Snowbirds
2-2-00 Dear Editor: I just wanted to thank you for your article on Teen Court. My daughter is one of the participants from Mount Pulaski High School. She really takes all of it very seriously and it has helped her to see how the system works and also how it doesn't always go like you think it should. I was surprised to hear from her how seriously the teens that have chosen to go through teen court take the proceedings. I must admit that I knew only somewhat of how it worked, but after reading your article, it was much clearer. I hope more communities initiate such programs. It is a good way to get young people involved in the community and keep on track. Thank you. Kris Cannon
2-1-00 Dear Editor: Finally! News and other items of interest without politics and prejudice by the people, for the people, and about the people of Lincoln. Concentration on Logan County news fulfills a void both online and off. Best wishes in this endeavor and I hope you continue to spread the news! Robin Keys 1-31-00 To the editor: Just caught your website and wanted to say it was great to see some familiar faces and stories from the hometown. Keep up the good work! Dave Shawgo
1-31-00 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! Miki
