    I'll talk <br>coins to anyone willing to not walk away. On Thur=
    sday=20
    September 19th, I <br>was setting up to give a presentation to the =
    West=20
    Jersey Coin Club and <br>one of the officers said that he didn'=
    t know=20
    how good the attendance <br>would be because there was some special=
    game=20
    on TV (Phillies or <br>Eagles). I told him that if it were just him=
    and=20
    me, I would still have <br>fun giving the talk. I could go thru the=
    club=20
    meetings, board meetings, <br>shows & conventions... but that w=
    ould=20
    be boring. My last convention of <br>the year was the C4 Convention=
    in=20
    Baltimore. The C4 Reception, <br>educational events, C4 exhibits, t=
    he=20
    book signing for the new NJ Book, <br>Whitman events, the C4 Auctio=
    n,=20
    ANS Reception and the many hobby friends <br>I get to rubs elbow=20
    with...<br>Wouldn't it be nice to be able to go back in time an=
    d have a=20
    coffee <br>with Dr. Maris, or Joseph Mickley, Sylvester Crosby and =
    the=20
    many others <br>from our hobby past. These people are the hobby gre=
    ats=20
    that we admire <br>today and others have built upon their works. Bu=
    t if=20
    you give it a <br>little thought, we live amongst the hobby greats =
    today=20
    - the people that <br>generations to come would wish that they woul=
    d=20
    have had an opportunity <br>to talk to. BUT we can. They are the gu=
    ys=20
    and gals that share research <br>publishing in books & articles=
    ,=20
    cataloging great collections (and not so <br>great ones), forming g=
    reat=20
    collections... There's not a one that is <br>unapproachable at =
    a=20
    convention. All can be contacted by email. As a <br>little side sto=
    ry,=20
    many times in my earlier years, I would see Dave <br>Bowers on a=20
    convention floor or at an auction or ANS/ANA event. I felt <br>at t=
    he=20
    time that I didn't want to waste his time by approaching him an=
    d=20
    <br>trying to strike up a conversation. How much hobby enjoyment I=
    =20
    missed <br>out on by thinking like that! Years later I did introduc=
    e=20
    myself and <br>found him to be very approachable and willing to sha=
    re=20
    knowledge. The <br>same applies to others such as Eric Newman &=
    Ken=20
    Bressett. But the <br>hobby greats of today aren't only prolifi=
    c=20
    writers... Just look through <br>the pages of the C4N and CNL. I=
    9;m=20
    fortunate to live on the East Coast, <br>where there are a lot of &=
    quot;hobby=20
    greats". I can easily send an email and <br>have a roast beef =
    sandwich=20
    with them at a small bar in PA, or visit them <br>at the Jersey Sho=
    re,=20
    or meet them in a farmer's field to dig up colonial <br>coins, =
    or see=20
    them at a live Stack's Bowers auction, or bump into them <br>at=
    the ANS.=20
    But I also enjoy making calls to talk to them as far away <br>as CA=
    and=20
    FL and Canada.<br>To change the direction of my rambling, I'd l=
    ike to=20
    encourage you <br>to personally try to do one thing to make your ho=
    bby=20
    better in 2014... <br>maybe write an article (even if only a half a=
    =20
    page), talk to a local <br>coin club for 15 minutes about your colo=
    nial=20
    interests, exhibit some of <br>your coins and paper money, voluntee=
    r at=20
    the C4 convention. These are <br>major contributions to the hobby a=
    nd=20
    all are very fun to do. There are <br>also very important, but seld=
    om=20
    thought of, things you can do to <br>support/encourage others. If=20
    there's an article written that you really <br>enjoyed - let th=
    e author=20
    know. If his/her contact info isn't with the <br>article, then =
    the=20
    editor can forward your email. Thank an author for <br>writing a bo=
    ok=20
    you find useful and enjoy. If you like a particular <br>website, cl=
    ick=20
    on the "contact webmaster" and let them know. If you <br>=
    enjoyed a=20
    speaker, an exhibit, a convention, a DVD... let the people=20
    <br>responsible know. Most of these people in the hobby are doing w=
    hat=20
    they <br>do for no monetary compensation, and a pat on the back goe=
    s a=20
    long way <br>to encouraging them to continue.<br>C4... What a great=
    =20
    organization! In the front of every <br>newsletter is the contact=20
    information for all the officers. Support <br>them where you can. M=
    ake=20
    use of them too. If you think of something <br>that can make C4 bet=
    ter,=20
    contact your region's VP, or any of the <br>national officers. =
    They are=20
    there to represent you; so suggestions, <br>complaints, compliments=
    and=20
    volunteers are always welcome. Having not <br>been an elected C4 of=
    ficer=20
    for three years now, I try my best to support <br>those that are. I=
    t's=20
    fun to be a part of what's going on. You can be too.<br>I'l=
    l close with=20
    one of the most wonderful things
