Saturday afternoon
hundreds of people showed up at Lincoln Christian Church to
deliver well-wishes in person to Dr. Steven Kottemann. He
has retired from the medical profession after several months of
controversy with Family Medical Center in Lincoln.
In his career in Logan
County, he has treated thousands of patients, and many of them came
to tell him he will be missed and loved always.

Among the items on this table is a framed
letter from the city of Lincoln. On Saturday morning during
their budget meeting, aldermen took time out to sign the letter,
written by Mayor Keith Snyder.

On the way out, two well-wishers stop to
take a look at the Dr. Kottemann history board.
