However, I don't think you have the guts, decency, or integrity to rise above the political swamp attempting to honor a complete charlatan rather than our nation's history.

If you feel absolutely committed to having a president on the coin I wish you had the decency, integrity, and guts to instead mint a collection of coins with all five living presidents on the face of a coin, and a non-political back that actually celebrates the anniversary.

I have a brief entry called The Pilgrimage Before the Pilgrimage, about my all too brief visit to Campbeltown (Kinloch). It is my tribute to Denzil. I hope you can take a few minutes to read it. I still grieve his passing.

Hi Finn, I finally made it to Campbeltown on the Kintyre Peninsula back in June to lift a whisky in memory of Denzil. It's a beautiful town and people spoke so highly of Denzil.

On a purely personal note, I'm giving you my blog address. I used to use it to post my sermons before retirement.

I wept upon reading Denzil's acknowledgements and Finn Cotton's note. Just finished Last Orders with the heavy realization that there will be no more. Always enjoyed messaging back and forth with Denzil. He was so aware and welcoming to his fans.
