Papa, please tell me more about Malan Heights.
This is in incredible, I’ve never seen or heard of this!
Hal: That “book” was carved out of a small wood block by GH Malan, carefully hollowing out a channel in the center which contained the first quarter that came to the Malan Heights Resort which was in the mountains above Ogden, Utah. 65 years ago when I was 15 I moved the quarter to our coin collection. I wonder if it is still there…Dad
