Page 4 2024 Hometown HEROES Magazine LINCOLN DAILY NEWS June/July 2024 Hometown Heroes A tribute to ordinary people doing extraordinary things Lincoln Daily News is happy to bring to our readers the fifth annual edition of Hometown Heroes, a magazine dedicated to those “ordinary people doing extraordinary things.” Each year, as we prepare for this magazine, we have to limit ourselves to a specified number of people which can make it difficult because as we look around our county there are many, many people who fit our definition of a hometown hero. Some of them don’t feel they should be in such a category as “hero,” because they are humble, they don’t see themselves as special, or they are just not sure that they “qualify.” We love and respect that humility and want to assure each one that what they do, what they have done, makes a difference in our lives and we appreciate them for it. In this year’s edition we’re going to be featuring Barry and Julie King, Vince Long, Cindy Aussiker and Marla Williams, the late Armin E. Fricke, and retiring teachers Jerry Neiser and Kim Peterson Quinn. We also asked our readers to share their personal hero stories with us and those are included as well. As you read through this magazine, we believe you will find at least one or two people that you know. Maybe you will think about those people and what they have meant to you personally. If you do, remember to tell them just how special they are. We at LDN are grateful for those people who answer the calls and make our community better. All we can say is thank you and God bless our Hometown Heroes. The Staff and Stringers at Lincoln Daily News
