About the Author

Lawrence B. Stack, M.D., Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN.

One of Garrett's ideas now circulates as half a billion pieces of American history. Topping 8,300 entries, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger selected Garrett's coin concept honoring John Muir in Yosemite Valley to be California's 2005 commemorative state quarter. Garrett is an active member of the numismatic community and has designed two crowd-pleasing commemorative medals for the World's Fair of Money. He is the recipient of the American Numismatic Association's prestigious Art Award for Excellence in Medallic Sculpture and the John Muir Association's John Muir Conservation Award. Garrett was featured on PBS "Between the Lines" to reveal the meanings behind America's favorite pocket change.
