The Washington Crossing chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) held its dinner meeting on Tuesday, October 14 at Giuseppe’s Restaurant in Richboro to celebrate the 244th anniversary of the Continental Army’s victory at Yorktown. Mr. Stephen Troy was the guest speaker and gave a presentation on “Money in Early America”.
Mr. Troy is a member of Early American Coppers (EAC), an organization dedicated to the study and collecting of colonial and early U.S. copper coinage. He is a retired CPA with an MBA in finance from Temple University, so he has an in-depth knowledge of monetary systems and how they work. He is also a musician, performing on trombone with both the Bucks County Symphony and the Delaware Valley Wind Symphony, in addition to being a published composer of band music.
Mr. Troy was honored by the Chapter at the dinner meeting with the SAR Bronze Good Citizenship Medal. The medal and certificate awarded by Chapter President Steven Ware and Past President Robert Reiser were for Mr. Troy’s research in early colonial money. His work supports the SAR’s goals and objectives through his contributions to the community related to education and history.
The Chapter is grateful for his service to our community perpetuating the story of colonial and Revolutionary War era life through his historical research and educational programs, two purposes of the SAR.
