In the 1960s I was moving furniture for Bekins Van Lines. One day our customer was a woman who was living in the LA Brea towers. I recognized her name, having seen it on older issues of our circulating paper money. We talked about that. I should have asked her to sign one of the bills.

She was appointed by Eisenhower and a prolific courtesy signer of paper money. She’s also the mother of Patricia Priest, who played Marilyn in the television series The Munsters.
Small world & interesting. Thanks for sharing!

You were a mover for Bekins? My back hurts just thinking about that.
How did you get into currency....and maps?
Nice!
