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.

the editor:
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
This is Bonnie
& Dean Sanders writing again...I forgot to add that our e mail
address is SAN3DB@aol.com for anyone who may want to get in touch.
Just be sure to put
something in the subject line to let us know you're a
"friendly".
Thanks...

I am originally
from Lincoln and trying to move back there. Thanks to your web

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.
