Roger and I have been on vacation for just a week, but we're constantly bugging the Lincoln kids with, "What's new?" Daughter Beth today told me about the Lincoln Daily News. What a great idea! I've just read my first edition, and will look forward to checking in frequently. Thanks!

I cannot believe anyone in Lincoln would want to tear down Central School. My parents went to that school from K-8, then went across the street to LCHS. I attended Central School for my entire grade school experience. I remember Mr. Hitchock, the principal; Mrs. Trigg, my kindergarten teacher; Mrs. Lemme my first grade teacher; and Mrs. Deiss, my third grade teacher.

Richard Hurley was my sixth grade teacher. Does he agree to have the building torn down? The last I heard he was on the city council. I remember the "Doublemint gum" with a label that said "Stick with Dick." Well, Dick, stick with Central.

There is nothing wrong with the structure. It probably just needs some updating. That school adds architectural history to Lincoln. Will Lincoln Junior High School be next?

The Logan County Courthouse is older than Central School; is it in line to be torn down? While we are at it, let's just tear down the Postville Courthouse (it's old) and the Lincoln Library, the fire station, the post office and the entire square.

Thanks to the Crisafullis for keeping some of the the Lincoln sites still standing. I was in Lincoln about a month ago and enjoyed my walk around town. It was nice to know that I come from a town with a history. Apparently some new people in town don't care about history.

All I have to say in the end is "Save Lincoln's beautiful buildings and locations."

If I can be of any help to save anything in Lincoln, feel free to contact me. Larry and Valecia, keep up the good work. You have many fans behind you that want to help. Just let us know how.

My sister, Donna, led me to your web site this morning. I am thrilled to be able to go on line and get the news from Lincoln, my home town! All of my family still lives in the area, but I have lived in the Washington, D.C. area for the past 28 years. Finally, I will be able to keep up on all the news from home. Thanks so much for this service.

Dear Editor:

Lincoln Daily News was a great idea put into action. What a great opportunity for local businesses to do some advertising and get your name out there on-line!! As a Marketing/Sales individual, I am always looking for new ways to reach area businesses and offer information about our business, so thanks for the link! Keep up the great work and congratulations on your continued success.

Dean and I are pleased to see the Lincoln Daily News online! (We've been reading one of the neighboring papers on line just to try and see what all is going on back home.) We are in Northern Michigan and have been for 14 years; but want to keep up to date. Our family back home shares some...but it is good to read it right from the paper.

Thanks. We will be passing this information along to others of our family who are away from Lincoln.

God bless all you back home.

Bonnie & Dean Sanders

I am originally from Lincoln and trying to move back there. Thanks to your web site, it will be much easier. I now can find a place to live and a job without having to travel back and forth. Keep up the good work. You're great.
