The People of Lincoln - The Framework of Community

What makes a city a community? What makes a place home?

When you really want to know the personality or the pull of a place, get to know the people who live there. Randy Bretz has spent more than forty years getting to know the people of Lincoln, Nebraska. When he moved his family to the city in the middle of the plains in 1979, he didn't know that he would fall in love with his new home. He didn't know he would stay because of the welcoming, caring, giving people he encountered. He didn't know that he would begin to collect their stories and one day put some of them together in a book-an ode to the community he now embraces as his own.

The People of Lincoln presents sixteen portraits of people who make the city a nice place to live, work and raise a family. They are leaders, entrepreneurs, neighbors, artists, organizers, people who moved away and returned. They are people worth getting to know.
