SKINFLINT NUMISMATIST LEAVES $1.3 MILLION TO LIBRARY.

Dick Johnson writes: "Does collecting coins lead to thrift? Or
does thrift lead to coin collecting? A Milwaukee veteran of
World War II was one in the same. A member of the Milwaukee
Numismatic Society, who, from the size of his estate, had saved
his money for a lifetime. He left a will which named several
organizations as beneficiaries, the largest of which was the West
Allis Library, in the amount of $1.3 million. He was a notorious
skinflint to his neighbors, however.

Yet to be answered: Who will get to sell his coin collection,
said to contain gold coins and silver bars?
