I have been doing the Murdock Newsletter since 2009. I have really enjoyed it. I hope to pass it on to someone else who will love it, too. John and Irina Harrington are the force behind the Nebraska Community Website Project. They have been so good to work for and they strive to keep the website updated with the latest technology. A big thanks goes out to the Principal Sponsor of the Murdock Newsletter, Corn Growers State Bank. Without their support and encouragement the newsletter could not exist. Mostly I would like to thank you, the readers of the newsletter. I appreciate all the stories, pictures, and news you sent me.
