WOLFE TONE FOLLOWUP 

   Saul Teichman writes:  "I would like to thank those who 
   responded regarding the Wolfe Tone trial.   I have forwarded 
   the information to Douglas Mudd at the Smithsonian and 
   placed the responses at the bottom of the original webpage. 

   On the pattern front, I have added color images of all the die 
   and hub trials in the Library Company of Philadelphia to the 
   uspatterns.com website.   I think your subscribers, especially 
   those interested in Gobrecht dollars, will find some of these 
   especially interesting. Thanks again.

   Nine new or misdescribed issues were discovered which 
   are summarized on the page below.

   Steve Pellegrini  adds: "Does Harold know that the actor 
   Franchot Tone was a direct descendant of Wolfe Tone? 
   Or that one day in 1959 Franchot Tone and some friends 
   walked into McSorley's Bar in New York City for a couple 
   of 'pops.' Inside they found Irish playwright Brendan Behan 
   holding court at the bar. Behan was in town with the cast of 
   his play 'The Quare Fella' which was running off  Broadway 
   at the time. 

   Tone, in the casual American way, greeted Behan with, 
   "Well, hello Brendan, you old S.O.B." Having never made the 
   actor's acquaintance Behan took this as a maternal slight and 
   walloped Tone with a haymaker - knocking him right on his 
   ass.  Of course, he was told who he'd decked and his 
   connection to the great Wolfe Tone.  Contrite, Behan helped 
   Tone up, brushed him off and threw an arm around him. For 
   the rest of the afternoon Behan serenaded his new friends 
   with Rebel Songs and bottomless pints of Stout."
