I remember that; it was right around the time that quarter was released. That’s a shame...
Here in NJ people were upset that NY put the Statue of Liberty on their quarter; while I believe the island was legally given to them by the feds at some point, it is much closer to NJ (and very clearly on our side of the line between the states drawn in the Hudson River).
It’s a shame that nothing stays the same. Well, we have our memories. And they are good ones. :)
