I appreciate it when people, who once lived here, relay messages about how proud they are to have been a part of the community and give complementary kudos to the people of the Manning community who currently live here, with so many of them who are also proud of their community and help in so many ways.

Hi Dave, Just want to say that was very special to
see and read all you have on your website especially the new Manning 1966
feature I read a couple days ago. I enjoyed it all.
It's close to my class of 1964, actually the year my
sister Jan graduated. I saw a picture of my little brother at the time sitting
on the folk's front porch with friends (Dean) in the second set and a picture
of brother Terry in grade school in the third set I believe it was. There were
a lot of things I recognized and the people also from that time frame.
You do a tremendous job with your website. I live in northern Iowa so
thoroughly enjoy reading and seeing the pictures you put on here. I haven't
been in Manning in years but is good to see your site for sure.
You could put other years on in my era as well. It's always nice to remise of days gone by.
One last thing I have always wanted to do is contact the Manning Monitor or
maybe the Chamber and let you people know what a super job you have done with
our small town in keeping everything so nice, up to date, whatever it needs
done you do it. The new park down the street from the folk's house where Dad's
bulk tanks were at is beautiful as well, my girls used to go down there with
their cousins to the totem pole in their younger days. Also
your water slide is another special item for kids. I could go on and on, but I
just want to congratulate Manning as a whole for all
they do to keep that small town clean and beautiful.
So you can see I look at your website all the time to see if anything is going
on or I recognize someone you have on. And thank you for classmate Ruby's tribute as I didn't know she passed away.
Sincerely, Linda Stolfus
