His wife, Laura, was also a very talented artist who designed some of the American commemorative coins issued during the same period. </p><p><br /></p><p>Laura almost got to design the Washington Quarter, but the secretary of the treasury overruled the opinions of the Fine Arts Commission and John Flannigan got the nod instead. Her design was used for a 1999 Washington commemorative $5 gold coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am on an iPad so I can’t post pictures. Sorry. Maybe some else could post some.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
