Bob is the brother of Mark's daughter-in-law Araby (Judah's wife). Bob served as Chief of Staff for William S. Cohen during Cohen's Tenure as the 20th United States Secretary of Defense (1997-2001). His gift, and this recognition of Mark's service to England and America, is deeply appreciated. It will be treasured by the family for generations to come. The original coin is being kept in a special place by Judah and will be passed on at the appropriate time.
