What a wonderful article in last week’s edition of the paper about the Lincoln cemeteries and the project undertaken by our library, our historical society, and the third and fourth graders at the Lincoln school! I have seen that exhibit at the historical society and recommend it. It is a wonderful example of a multigenerational project of historical significance. We need to preserve our history and learn from it.

I have recently met with the Lincoln Cemetery Association with the idea of spearheading a project to replace the fence around our largest cemetery, which is beautiful but deteriorating beyond repair. We have all agreed on the many reasons we need to replace the fence with something equally beautiful. It will be an expensive project, but there are so many interested folks that I am confident that we can raise the funds to have a talented local welder fabricate a new one and install it. Stay tuned for more information.
