Pet owner to feds: Dog ate my money
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana man whose 12-year-old golden retriever ate five $100 bills hopes to be reimbursed by the federal government.
Wayne Klinkel tells the Independent Record that his dog Sundance ate the bills while he and his wife were on a road trip to visit their daughter.
Klinkel says he carefully picked through the dog’s droppings, and his daughter recovered more when snow melted.
He says he washed the remnants of the bills and taped them together and sent them to the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing with an explanation of what happened.
The bureau’s website says an “experienced mutilated currency examiner” will determine if at least 51 percent of a bill is present and eligible for reimbursement. The process can take up to two years.
Geffen donates $25M for museum
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Music and movie mogul David Geffen has kicked in $25 million for a film museum planned by Academy Awards overseers.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Monday that the David Geffen Foundation made the donation for the museum scheduled to open in 2017 next to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
It’s the largest contribution yet in the academy’s $300 million fund drive for the museum.
In recognition, the academy is naming a theater at the facility after Geffen.
Record company executive Geffen founded DreamWorks Pictures with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg.
Geffen says the museum will provide a permanent home for the academy’s tradition of “honoring the shining stars of the cinematic arts.”
