FROM THE ARTIST
I am delighted to learn that the issue of this medal will coincide with the Christmas season and hope that it will carry its message of peace, hope and cheer to all members of the Society of Medalists, whose appreciation of this phase of American sculpture has meant so much to its continued development.
