Message:: [QUOTE="Caleb, post: 2548169, member: 32795"]Well, yes. The comment in question is: In grade school, I believe we all played the game when the teacher put the class in a circle and told a small story to one student and then had the student whisper the same story to the student on their left and so on until the story came back to the first student.  Most of the time, the story that returned to the first student was nowhere near what the teacher told in the first place. Instead of believing what is one the internet, maybe people should do a little research and try to find paper of the first student to tell the story, in this case, Gilroy Roberts, the one who not only designed the obverse of the Kennedy half dollar but according to his written recollections of events is the one who showed his design to Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy and Attorney General Robert Kennedy before production.  According to Gilroy Roberts, at this meeting, Jacqueline Kennedy suggested “Mrs. Kennedy was favorably impressed with the design on both sides of the coin but felt it would be an improvement if the part in the hair, on the portrait, was less pronounced and more accents were added.” Somehow having a less pronounced part in the hair and more accents added has translated into she wanted less accents in the hair. Just my 4 bits on the subject, Caleb[/QUOTE]
