Being former Lucanites we were very glad to be able to return for a visit and renew acquaintances with so many with whom we grew up. A special word of thanks should go to "The Lankins" and those who assisted them in opening their house to the Senior Citizens. It was something that we will never forget. Congratulations Lucan.
