and humbled. I've been selected (as W.F. Cody) by the Governor to introduce the new Nebraska Quarter on Friday April 7th here in Lincoln. I'll be one of three speakers including the acting director of the U.S. Mint and the Governor. My final talk is now ready after having been back and forth between me and the Mint four times for PC revises and shortening the time. I'll be on at 9:09 a.m. and have two minutes and fifteen seconds to tell the history of Nebraska. Expected attendance is about four thousand. Everyone under eighteen in attendance will receive a new quarter. I'll have to buy mine. Thanks and take care.

Congrats, Terry. An honor indeed.

Thanks Dave,
It's gonna be a long day. I'v got a paid contract appearance at Landrun in OKC that evening at 8:00. If I leave Lincoln by 11:30 I'll make it fine. Thanks and take care.

Terry, it's a great honor, and well deserved, but you need to think about a personal aircraft for all your appearance so you can make them all...

...the new Nebraska Quarter...

Sounds like a two-bit role in a two-bit event

Joss,
yep (assuming I get my contract back soon), three shows a day for ten days late August. Thanks and take care.

You will do a fine job, COL Cody.
Who better to introduce the new coin for NEBRASKA?

Will Ketchum · « **Reply #7 on:** March 27, 2006, 06:30:21 PM »

Gosh Terry I sure wish I could be there. It seems like yesterday that you left your sickbed to travel to Desmoines to meet up with me. I sure am proud to call you my friend. I am so happy that things are going so well for you.

Terry,
You have my congratulations. You also deserve a big ovation for your well earned moment in the lights. Your hard work has borne fruit.

Congratulations Terry, it couldn't happen to a better fellow. One more thing, may your trip to Landrun be a safe one.

Irish Dave · « **Reply #11 on:** March 27, 2006, 08:54:36 PM »

Terry:

I don't mean to step on our esteemed Editor's toes, but would it be possible for you to send some info (maybe a pic, too) about this along to The Shootist? I would think that this kind of event/honor would be something that all of our members would be interested in -- and proud of.

Congratulations! I'm so impressed that a Governor could make such a great choice!

We're looking forward to your appearance at Land Run! Drive safe!!

Congrates Terry Thats a heck of an honor.

Grizzle Bear · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2006, 07:41:34 AM »

Haven't seen the design........

Terry, did they put your picture on it? (As Cody, of course!)

You kinda got short-changed, (pardon the pun!) havin' to tell the history of Nebraska in a little over two minutes.

"Uh....we kilt the Indians and the buffalo, uh.... plowed up the prairie, uh....oh, yeah, we....uh... planted wheat and corn. Thank you and have a nice day!"

That would be about all I could manage, I'm sure Terry will do a lot better!

Grizzle and all,
you pretty much got the story except that the US Mint took out the offending parts about killing the indians and buffalo and plowing the prairie. We did however plant corn and wheat and grow cattle. Thanks and take care.

Terry Lane · « **Reply #16 on:** March 28, 2006, 10:30:28 AM »

Grizzle and all,
I forgot, the selected design depicts Chimney Rock with a Conestoga heading west out of the state. We just herded 'em on through like we do today on I-80. My personal choice would have been the Standing Bear design but I wasn't on the selection committee. Thanks and take care.

Congrats! Terry, I don't know of anyone better for the job. An honor well deserved. Take care & have a safe trip. Wild Ben Raymond

I liked the Chimney Rock one myself, passing the masses through, only keeping the best.

Sorta, but my appearance fee is considerable more than two-bits and is increasing with each event.

Thanks for the observation. Take care.
