            To the editor: Upon the high school 
            graduation of our youngest child, we would like to express our deep 
            appreciation to Lincoln's educational community for all the positive 
            things you have done in teaching and leading our children through 
            the years. Our four sons and one daughter have benefited greatly 
            from your hard work and dedication, and from the genuine love that 
            so many of you have demonstrated. To the school boards, 
            administrators, faculties and staffs of Lincoln Elementary District 
            27 and Lincoln Community High School, thank you! Our children's 
            futures are brighter because of your good work. 
            Sincerely, 
            Tom and Karen Gerdts 
            Lincoln
