GENERAL DOOLITTLE SHORT SNORTER FOUND

Web site visitor Karie Naquin of Rockville, MD writes: "I am so excited!
I was handed change for a ten dollar bill last month in upstate NY, and
one of the dollars is a 1935A silver certificate with many signatures,
among them G H Van Dusen, and none other than General J H Doolittle.
It is hand-dated "1942" and on the other side someone wrote "1492".
I wonder if it is a misprint on someone's part.

"I had no idea what a short snorter was, but as a navy wife of
twenty-seven years, something told me that it was part of a military
ritual.

"I am in the process of trying to research the other names on the
bill.  Some of them are illegible.  I am fascinated by the historical
aspect of this short snorter, and I want to find out more about the
story!"
