I offer my condolences to Lincoln's Family. Lincoln and I grew up in Auburn and attended school together. Have not seen him in recent years, but have fond memories of growing up and doing things with him--except when he cast wrong and solidly hooked his fishing lure into my arm at Camp Gleason one evening!!
I wish Lincoln's Family "All the Best."
