Jeanette Lind's name has now
been added to the Citizenship
I Cup awarded annually by the
American Legion Seward Post

The choice of Jeanette Lind

The human race started out
living in caves, and it looks
like they might return to it.
Isn’t it true that about the
only person we can fool most
of the time is ourselves?
Here's an indication of the
human race's ability to adapt
itself to anything: A woman
recently walked into a library
and asked for a light and enter
taining novel that she could
read while knitting and watch
ing television.
