MINT DIRECTOR HENRIETTA FORE

  Also found while looking for other things is this article
  from the Las Vegas Review-Journal (February 19, 2002)
  about Nevada native and current mint director Henrietta
  Holsman Fore.

  "She became the highest-ranking Nevadan in the new Bush
  administration on Aug. 7, when she was sworn in as Mint
  director.

  Fore said she was working on the morning of Sept. 11
  when she learned about the East Coast terrorist attacks.
  "In the beginning, it was just disbelief," she said.  Then, Fore
  said, she and her staff started focusing on how to protect the
  nation's mints.

 "You just worked through the day being sad but being
  purposeful at the same time, because you didn't know what
  was going to happen next," she said.

  Fore said the Mint has its own police force that is considered
  a world-class leader in guarding assets.  In addition to
  guarding the nation's four mints and the U.S. Bullion
  Depository in Fort Knox, Ky., the police force helps other
  countries preserve and protect their assets, she said."

  "Fore, the owner of a North Las Vegas wire and metals
  company, said her background in both manufacturing and
  foreign affairs has served her well in the new position.

  Although Fore never aspired to become Mint director, she
  said she considers herself lucky to have the job.  "It is such
  an honor," she said. "You're working for the people."
