I just got back home and it's been a busy two days - fun busy. I was f=
ortunate enough to be able to attend the ANS Gala Dinner last night. What =
a lot of fun! Back in September, I purchased a string of original wampum, =
from a Seneca site from the 1600s. I told Diane that if she would wear the=
wampum to the ANS dinner at the Waldorf Astoria, that I would purchase a n=
ew dress. Well, she wore it and looked great! The dress was nice too! Ac=
tually, the dress was awesome! Diane and I sat between Arnold & Christine =
Miniman (C4 Member) and Elizabeth Hahn & Andy Carlson (ANS Librarian & bank=
er). Elizabeth is always fun to be around, and Arnold is too. Food was go=
od and music too. I was the successful bidder on a book, proceeds to go to=
ANS. As in C4 Auctions, Dave Menchell had a piece of woodwork for auction=
- I think it brought over $1500! He does very nice woodwork. It was nice=
to see everyone there. Got home about 1:30 this AM.
This morning, the alarm went off at 6:15. Had to drive Diane to the tr=
ain station, then I met Leo Shane (C4 Librarian) for a drive back to the Wa=
ldorf Astoria for the NY International Show. I was fortunate enough to pic=
k up a Swedish coin I've been looking for, saw a number of friends, manned =
the ANS table for Megan so she could go get some lunch, had lunch with Leo =
and Dan Freidus, then headed home. There was NO TRAFFIC! It's fun talking=
with Leo in the car. He is a wealth of information and has collecting int=
erests that are not in the mainstream of colonial numismatics. I look forw=
ard to exhibits and articles from Leo. Taxi Steve was supposed to drive in=
with us, but cancelled at the last minute for family reasons. I saw Ed Fo=
ster there! Ed didn't make it to C4 this past November - his car died when=
he was on his way. Ed had given a talk several years ago at C4 about the =
identification of families in the counterfeit British 1/2 d series. Ed had=
a way of simply explaining what was a complex topic.=20=20
Well, off to the coffee pot and my recliner.
Later,
Ray
