SAN FRANCISCO MINT UPDATE
Rich Kelly & Nancy Oliver write: "We wanted to thank you
for putting a few tidbits about our book in your recent
e-newsletter -- it was a very pleasant surprise.We also wanted to let you know that we learned that the
Mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, recently set up a
task force to study uses for the Old Mint. They will spend
about a year going over ways to re-open the building to
accommodate both commercial and educational endeavors.
We are very excited at the prospect of the building being
re-opened to the public in the near future. Articles concerning
the mint task force can be found in the San Francisco
Chronicle on Tuesday, May 22, 2001 and Thursday,
August 2, 2001.Also, we are progressing well with our new book on Mint
Worker J. B. Harmstead. We think many people will be
very surprised at some of the revealing information in our
new book. It will not be completed until sometime next
year but perhaps we will send a few tidbits to you along
the way if you like. We would be happy to share them
with your readers too.We have enjoyed receiving your newsletters and want to
thank you for inviting us to be a part of your community."[Editor's note: the San Francisco Chronicle articles
mentioned above are still available on the newspaper's
web site (http://www.sfgate.com/). Go to "Archive",
enter a date range, an look for "Mint" in the headline.
From the May 22nd article:"The federal government and the city hope to take a
major step forward this week toward reopening San
Francisco's venerable Old Mint, one of the city's
grandest landmarks, and its most neglected.Once the most splendid government building in the
West, the Old Mint has turned into a battered relic
of what it once was, empty and abandoned, like a
ruin in the middle of the city."]- 2001-08-26
