Probably just one of the many untold stories of that near forgotten time. I'm glad someone valued that Silver Certificate so little that it was able to get back to those that valued it so highly.

LOL! You should change your license plates from 10,000 lakes to WWF. Merry Christmas!

I was thinking the same about the silver certificates. I always look for those and silver quarters. Would you have tried to find the signers if you had received it for change?

Heart warming stories bring tears to the eyes.

Thank you for all your work at the USO Canteen and for the USO years with Bob Hope.

Merry Christmas and blessings of joy, peace and good health.
