Over the next few months, it didn’t go unnoticed the changes throughout the Group. One by one each dissenter was replaced. The talk was positive not negative and the results proved the case clearly for all to see. Todd was seen by most as tough but fair. Damion was the one some felt afraid of. He wielded great power and they knew he was backed up by the big boss.
Nancy was known to have Todd’s ear. Some of the more nervous Heads tried to confide in her and to whisper favors they wanted heard at the top. Six months later, not one of those Heads were around to hear the results of his or her whisper to Nancy.
Todd thought it was totally Charles Darwin’s theory that “Only the strong survive,” and it applied directly to the Lincoln Group. His strong environmental and conservation beliefs along with his own theory, work with nature, not against it would be Lincoln’s underlying position in the industry throughout the world. Lincoln would be in the vanguard; the rest to follow suit as followers not leaders like Lincoln would demonstrate by action not talk. The legacy his grandparents left him would continue and he, a Lincoln, would lead the tough road ahead. After he passed on, his son would take the helm and move the Lincoln Group into the twenty second century. He would educate his children to prepare for life outside this world out into the beyond. Space and the oceans were yet to be explored and he wanted Lincoln out in front with both space and the oceans treated with respect and above all with conservation in mind at all times.
