Title: I'm honored...
Post by: Terry Lane on March 27, 2006, 05:13:05 PM

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.

It's at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Festivities start at about 8:30 am. I'd be proud to see you there. Thanks and take care.

Pitsptr and all,
I'm informed that no tickets are required. It's a public event sponsored by the US Mint and The State of Nebraska. Take care.

Good to see you today Col. Cody. I wish we'd have had more time. I was very impressed with your use of 1st person. I've tried to do 1st person, but have never mastered it.

Gen Pitspitr & I were privleged to attend the ceremony this morning in Lincoln. 
There are pictures posted in the NCOWS forum above. 
The title of the thread is similar to this one.

Col Cody did a great job.  I recommend that anyone who could ever get to one of his shows---do so!!!
