Wow. What sad news. To Jeff's comments I would add that he he had a few ver=
y very nice Machins. I think he (maybe along with Mike) discovered the V 24=
-72C when it was still really rare. And I am sure someone can help me here,=
but I recall he was quite an accomplished musician. But most of all, an in=
telligent fun guy to talk to about Colonial Numismatics. I think he and Bob=
Vlack also worked on Machins together early on.
Best,
Roger
