I cracked up when I read that too. Ray, is very
amiable and affable never trying to hog the floor or
keep center stage. I can only assume you see what I am
driving at especially since you are immersed in
Fugios, it must be abundantly apparent to you.
Actually, if you were not slated to be president of C4
next year I think you would be ideal as the first
president of SEAN. But, Ray has all of this worked out
now that he will be available to serve as the first
president of SEAN and make NJ coppers shine brilliant
proof in the eyes , minds and hearts of American
numismatists and enthusiasts everywhere. Those Fugios
are flying away again.
