I read your news every day. Tom and I moved to Huntsville, Ala., 15 years ago and really appreciate keeping in touch with what is going on in Lincoln.

Colorado reader likes school articles

Dear editor:

Congratulations on your one-year anniversary. Since my family and I moved to Colorado Jan. 2, we have kept up on Lincoln news through your publication. It is very well-written, very user-friendly and gives us a taste of home.

Of course, I especially like all the positive articles on the local schools. Anything about Washington-Monroe will always be dear to my heart. Keep up the praise for all the kids in "your" community.

Again, happy anniversary! We will continue to view your publication.

Lexie was found

1-31-01

To the editor:

I would like to thank the men who contacted us regarding our lost dog, Lexie. Lexie was found in Lawndale because of your calls. She was tired from her two-day adventure, but unharmed. I enjoy knowing there are caring "dog lovers" in our community. Thanks again.

Hello, Lincoln, from Albuquerque, N.M.

1-30-01

To the editor:

I would like to wish your newspaper a happy anniversary. Hope you have many more to come.

I was saddened to see the Scully Building burned. This was one of my favorite buildings. The popcorn shop was the only place to go to get a good bag of popcorn. The pet shop was where our dog Dusty got all his toys to play with while we were in town for the Lincoln Art and Balloon Fest. These stores and the building will be missed. Hopefully the stores can be relocated, as they are my favorite stops in downtown Lincoln.

We will see everyone in August.

Congrats on cyberspace news

1-30-01

To the editor:

Jan, to you and the rest of LDN staff, I can say (for myself) that this has been a very informative year for those who surf to LDN. Seeing the good things you have done, the articles you print and not being afraid to print letters from those who wish to express their opinion, I, for one — and I know there are many more — wish you continuing success into this age of cyberspace news. Up-to-date reporting and a fair and balanced attitude with no bias means so much these days. People may disagree on numerous subjects, but that does not mean hate is intended, nor does it mean we can't love our neighbor....

To you and you staff, my hat is off to you —
C O N G R A T S.

Animals need adoption

1-30-01

To the editor:

Thanks so much for picking up my story about the adoption of Iris.  I feel it is important to get positive stories in the media about animal adoptions.  There are far too many animals waiting for homes they may never get.

I love the photos you post on your site of the dogs and cats at our local shelter.  Keep up the good work.
