OldCoinGuy Valued Member Canada 154 Posts	Posted 07/17/2013 3:02 pm http://www.thestar.com/entertainmen...s_at_92.html I did not see the announcement in the forum so I thought I should post this notice. I actually did not know he had designed the 1967 centennial issue coinage. He leaves a wonderful legacy of his work. Report this Post to the Staff

canuck1us Pillar of the Community United States 1002 Posts	Posted 07/17/2013 3:22 pm He was chancellor at Acadia University when I graduated. I lived in Wolfville, Nova Scotia for a time as well and would often see him and his wife out walking their dog or just out and about around town. I have always enjoyed his paintings and particularly like his designs on the 1967 coinage. Report this Post to the Staff
