I would like to thank the South Lincoln Rotary, KLKN-TV and all sponsors for hosting The Tribute to Lincoln’s First Responders luncheon today. In telling my wife about the event this evening it made her so proud. I sat with the Woods & Aitken table and had great talks with and about various attorneys that had worked there. I am happy I had this experience in my 47th and final year with the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office. Thank you again. Woody.

You guys did an amazing job today. If anything went unaccording to plans it was unnoticed. A flawless execution for a worthy cause. High praise to everyone involved -- we thoroughly enjoyed the event and our table-mate Officer Luke!
Dennis Duckworth, President, Crime Stoppers
