On Feb. 3, 1959, 8-year-old Alan Lederman brought $2 to PS 61 to sock away in a school savings account. As he hung his coat in the closet, the deposit envelope fell through a crack in the floorboards.
His two silver certificates lay buried for 58 years. But last spring, fourth-graders at Lederman’s East Village alma mater, now called the Children’s Workshop School, dug them up — one a wrinkled 1935 bill, the other a pristine 1957. Then, teacher Miriam Sicherman tracked down two wrong Alan Ledermans until she found the right one.
