Wow!!!! We survived the storm that hit Omaha a couple of days ago. 115 MPH winds and hail. We got nailed. Michelle was so happy it didn’t hit a week ago but so sad with all the time and effort she had put into the yard. We have a few more alumni in Omaha, not sure how they faired.
I’m going back thru some of the Lyons Daily when it was a daily. This one is Thurs. May 19th, 2005. Val & Sal named at LHS. Cody Wiens and Alex Reed. What an honor. Didn’t say where they were going to go to college.
