FEATURED WEB PAGES 

   This week's featured web pages relate to gold medals 
   whose recipients did come forward to claim them - 
   Congressional Gold Medals..  The first is a June15, 1999 
   account of the awarding of the Congressional Gold Medal 
   to Rosa Parks.  "Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat 
   to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama, on 
   December 5, 1955, triggered a black boycott of the city's 
   bus system that lasted more than a year and eventually led 
   to laws that ended legalized segregation." 

   The second page is a government list of recipients of the 
   gold medal, beginning with George Washington in 1776. 
   The page will have to be updated to include the recent 
   award to the WWII Navajo Code Talkers.   The third page 
   is a more up-to-date and much more complete listing from 
   the Dallas Public Library, featuring photos of some of the 
   medals.
