A reader recently lamented that we have suggested putting a snowboarder on the back of the Utah quarter because of the lack of eloquence the "surfer dude" showed in interviews after he won the gold medal in the Olympics. First of all, the winner was not a Utahn. Secondly, if you know much about the guy, you realize how important his family is to him and his career — much like it is to us here in Utah. Besides, who is a world-class orator at age 19?
