Quotable Quotes:
"My life is a series of stories, so I have to tell you a story."
"In Lincoln academic circles everybody around me is the same. They're all professors. In suburbia, everybody pretty much has the same income. But in Dannebrog, I sit down for breakfast and converse with the banker, the town drunk, the most honest man in town, a farmer, a carpenter and my best friend."
"My little town is like an extended family. There are my favorite uncles. A mean cousin or two. Some kin I barely see and do not miss. And some I can never get enough of."
There are so many surprises. Every week out here when we turn on television to listen to the weather, there's a new record set — record highs, record lows, record change, record snowfall, record draught.
