I taught my penny poem to PreK-4th graders at the Children's Storefront School in Harlem, NY, on Nov. 6 --via SKYPE-- and it is now posted on Youtube.

If you look close you will see my image on a big white screen at the front of the room.
The school just launched its billion penny project (go to http://www.cstorefront.org/pennies/ to learn more about this). As their special guest during their Friday assembly, I taught the children how to "listen" to the pennies they collect. I informed them that I visited NYC a few summers ago and may have lost my special 1973 penny there. They said they'd keep an eye out for it. To know for sure, all they have to do is recite the penny poem to every 1973 Denver minted penny they find and listen for my name. Of course, the penny may have left by now and could be anywhere in the world, so I guess this is a plea for everyone to be on the lookout for it. But be sure you know the poem or 1973 won't tell you a thing!
