She was hired first to manage the office on the CCA side of the business. Lisa had a good eye for photography and was soon working in her off time at CCA for LDN. She was also the bookkeeper for both businesses. Later, she started working under Karen Hargis as an advertising salesperson, while still doing her other jobs. Indeed, she wore many hats. When CCAonline sold in the early part of 2022, Lisa took a new direction in her professional life. She left the new company, Nextlink and went to work for the New Holland Banking Center. She maintained her position as the bookkeeper for LDN but gave up her position in advertising. A note from Lisa about a family favorite holiday recipe My mother-in-law, Vera Ramlow, makes this recipe. These cookies are loved by her children, grandchildren, and friends of her grandchildren.

From Devyn Fry Lincoln Daily News got to know Devyn via her mom Bobbie who worked for CCAonline, where the LDN office used to be. Bobbie enjoyed talking about her daughter and at one time shared that Devyn had a very unique pet. LDN latched on to that information, storing it away for a future project, and in 2021 Devyn and her pet dragons Mable and Bowser were featured in the Animals Stories online magazine. Later that same year, after graduating high school Devyn enrolled at Lincoln College, and was looking for a part time job. As luck would have it, LDN had an opening and Devyn fit into the job description perfectly. Coming into the business, her duties were as a support team member working with the two primary graphic artists and performing duties as assigned. When one of those primary people chose to retire at the end of 2021, Devyn was more than happy to take on more responsibility. Continued —
