VIRGIL MCKNIGHT HANKS, JR.

Last week Bruce W. Smith asked for the full name and any other information readers could provide about V. M. Hanks. Gar Travis quickly provided a full name: Virgil McKnight Hanks, Jr. Here's what other readers had to say. -Editor

Using Ancestry.com databases, Kay Olson Freeman found:

Virgil McKnight Hanks, Jr. (he was Jr. as father had same name) Born April 17, 1921, Decatur, Illinois. Died July 8, 1997, San Francisco. His wife was Laura Nadine Palmerton (born 1925, CA, lived Oregon - died Sept. 1985, San Francisco, CA)

David Lange writes:

One of the readers was inquiring about the late V. M. Hanks, who I knew as a fellow member of the Pacific Coast Numismatic Society when I lived in the San Francisco area.

Hanks was a very vocal individual. He held strong opinions on many matters both numismatic and otherwise. He was extremely proud of being a direct descendant of Nancy Hanks, Abraham Lincoln's mother, and he spoke of this often. His wife Nadine was a delightful person who also attended our meetings, though with less frequency, as she was not as interested in numismatics. In an odd coincidence, I'd known her years before meeting him, since she was my Junior year English teacher during high school.
