Thank you. I had a good mentor, Ed Fleischman, who thought me to share knowledge.
Ed was a good person to me and helped me much in my earlier days of collecting 1969-1972. For that I will always be grateful. BTW I recently found all my previous correspondence letters/replies concerning error coin collecting to/from him. Long thought lost . He would reply on the letter I had sent him with my questions. Gone but not forgotten. Thanks again Ed.

I was corresponding with him in that time period too. Then in the Summer of 1971 my Dad, my brother and I were returning to Detroit from a vacation in Washington, D.C. and I said "Can we stop in Sidney, Ohio on the way?" When I looked out of the Clearinghouse office on the third floor overlooking the Courthouse Square I said to myself "Self, I'm going to work here some day!" Made it there in May of 1974. One month later we moved to a new building out on the edge of town with no windows.

That's an Awesome achievement Mr CaptHenway. I know how much you have contributed on the PCGS US coin forum all theses years. I've learned a lot from your posts over the years. You've been in the coin biz a long minute. Congrats!! Do we have to call you "Sir CaptHenway" now?
