Dear Les:

I am pleased to join the Society's tribute to my fellow Texan Harry W. Bass, Jr.

It is highly appropriate that the Society is recognizing Mr. Bass, enduring legacy through this publication in his honor.

As a renowned numismatist, authority on U.S. gold coinage, and ANS President, Harry Bass made a lasting contribution to the Society and to the numismatic world.

Through his business and philanthropic work, he had a profound impact on our city and will be long-remembered for his civic endeavors.

Thank you for inviting me to share in this tribute to Harry W. Bass Jr.

Sincerely,


Kay Bailey Hutchison
