<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clayirving, post: 1297927, member: 18867&quot;]I like the Series 1969 signatures. Dorothy Andrews Elston was appointed Treasurer of the United States by President Richard M. Nixon on 08 May 1969. She married Walter Kabis in 1970 and changed her name to Dorothy Andrews Elston Kabis. She became the first (and so far) only treasurer to have their name changed while in office, an event significant given that the signature of both the Treasurer of the United States and the Secretary of the Treasury appear on paper denominations of U.S. currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>The resulting change in Kabis&#039; signature appeared first on the Series 1969A $1 Federal Reserve Note, along with the signature of Secretary David M. Kennedy. All other denominations had Kabis&#039; new signature along with Secretary John Connally&#039;s signature on Series 1969B.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.panix.com/~clay/currency/1969-signatures.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>When John Connally was Governor of Texas in 1963, Connally was a passenger in the car in which President Kennedy was assassinated, and he was seriously wounded in the shooting, but he survived despite his injuries.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dorothy Andrews Elston Kabis died of a heart attack in Sheffield, Massachusetts on 03 July 1971 at the age of 54. Romana A. Bañuelos, was subsequently appointed Treasurer of the United States.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.panix.com/~clay/currency/1969-signatures-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The story of Romana A. Bañuelos is very interesting!
