            The Harvest of Talents for World Hunger 
            on Saturday (Oct. 25) was blessed with a wonderful and fruitful 20th 
            Harvest. We know this would not be possible without a great deal of 
            support from our friends and neighbors in this community. We are 
            grateful and thankful for every bit of help and encouragement which 
            permitted us to raise over $69,000 for world hunger. 
            Thanks to LDN for the space you 
            provided for us to share the Harvest of Talents story. 
            Fifty-pound bags of South Dakota 
            potatoes (red or white) remain available at the church office for 
            $10 per bag. Potatoes may be purchased for personal use or donated 
            to a mission. There are also a few very nice sweat shirts available, 
            with our special 20th anniversary log, which would make great 
            Christmas gifts.   [to top of second column in 
            this letter] | 
             
            The funds raised at Harvest are on the 
            first step of their journey to feed hungry people. We offer our 
            humble thanks to a community that supported our vision and helped 
            make this possible. 
            Plans are under way for the 21st annual 
            Harvest of Talents to be held on the fourth Saturday in October of 
            2004. Pat Snyderon behalf of
 The Harvest of Talents for World Hunger Ministry Team

            Orchids for Bill and Diane Detmers. 
            These folks work tirelessly for your local historical society and 
            don't desire any recognition for the hard work and long hours that 
            they dedicate to preserving history for future generations. 
            I would personally like to thank them 
            for helping me research my family tree. Thanks, Bill and Diane! Becky 
            EichelbergerShreveport, La.

            | To the editor: 
            I would like to thank Bill Detmers for 
            all his help in researching my family. 
            I lived in Lincoln for many years and 
            now live in Florida. Even though I don't live there anymore, I still 
            know a lot of people in Lincoln and Logan County. | 
            Bill doesn't get paid for his help and 
            gets very little thanks. Come on, Logan County -- let's give him one 
            of our thanks. Bill and Diane will help anyone, and we really need 
            to thank them for all their help. I'll start with this letter. Now, 
            let’s hear from a lot more people. Nancy 
            EichelbergerOdessa, Fla.
