 Jack Rosenthal (B.A. 1952, History; UW Honorary Doctor of Laws, 1993)was recently appointed chairman of the Wyoming Coinage Advisory Committee by Governor Dave Freudenthal. The committee is responsible for recommending designs for the Wyoming quarter to the U.S. Treasury Department by September 2005. Jack is no stranger to designs to represent Wyoming nor to the selection process. As chairman of the U.S. Postal Service Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee, he helped to select 610 designs. He found no lack of public interest with as many as 40,000 suggestions per year.

 A recipient of both the UW Distinguished Alum (1982) and A&S Outstanding Alum (1991) awards, Jack’s accomplishments include a stellar career in broadcasting and genuine expertise in stamps, railroads, baseball (especially the Chicago Cubs), and Wyoming history. Jack was a major player in launching many UW projects, including the Milward Simpson Fund in Political Science, the A&S Outstanding Former Faculty Awards, and the UW Athletics Hall of Fame.
