This is a framed 8x10 given to me as an early Christmas Present by somebody who knows how much I like the Sacagawea Coin.
It was done by the local Coin Collector Club.
As I have posted, a while back now I got off a Southwest in Dallas.
As I walked towards the terminal I see a Lady who I am 90% Positive was Glenna Goodacre, the Artist who using the Young Lady in the article as her model, designed the representation of Sacagawea on the coin.
I deeply regret I did not introduce myself to her and tell her how much I liked her work, especially the Coin and the Vietnam Women’s Memorial.
Glenna is gone now. She leaves behind a Husband, a Son, Daughter and Grandchildren.
Her Son in Law is Harry Connick, Jr.

We gave my Niece 500 of them right after her college graduation ceremony.
They were loose in a bank bag, all of them thar shinny golden coins made an impression on her and her friends.
Lugging that bag around made an impression too.
