THE REST OF THE STORY...

"I was passing thru another attorney's office at work today about 11:50 and he had a radio on, tuned to ABC news. Paul Harvey was giving his take on the news (Page 2) He mentioned a news item of a congressman had introduced a bill to mint a commemorative coin with Reagan's portrait. Mr. Harvey said that this would be a first - a living president on a US coin. (Page 3) Being a neophyte webuser/e-mail at work, I tried a practice session, finding an e-mail address for Mr. Harvey at ABC News and sending in a comment. I referred to the 1926 sesquicentennial half-dollar with Washington and Coolidge. Also, other commems have living persons (unfortunately). Examples: Carter Glass, and Eunice Shriver That was just from memory. But seeing the reference in the E-Sylum to Mr. Harvey being into coins, I am surprised at both the poor research his staff does and his mentioning the error."
