| | Harry W. Bass, Jr. Foundation |
 | | In 1966, Harry Bass applied for and was elected an Associate Member of the American Numismatic Society. |
 | | Bass enthusiastically shared the Council's approval of plans for celebrating the Bicentennial of our nation's founding with a major exhibition of "Money of the United States," including Colonial and Federal issues from the Society's holdings as well as loans from private collections, principally that of Eric P. Newman of St. Louis. |
 | | Happily, in less than one year, the perpetrator was apprehended and all the objects were recovered in good condition; due, in no small measure, to the cooperation of the late David Sonderman, a dealer to whom a number of the coins were offered by the principal thief. |
