What do you know about the candidates?

There seems to be considerable interest about the upcoming ANA election, so why not share what we know, if anything, about the candidates? I'll list what little I know about the names I recognize.

• Joseph E. Boling of Indianapolis, IN
• M. Remy Bourne of Vadnais Heights, MN
• Donald H. Dool of Crystal Lake, IL
• Michael B. Doran of Greenup, IL
• John R. Eshbach of Smoketown, PA
• Arthur M. Fitts III of Framingham, MA
• Alan Herbert of Belle Fourche, SD

• Chester L. Krause of Iola, WI -- Founder of Krause Publications, which was a successful venture for him. Has the leadership experience.
• Clifford Mishler of Iola, WI
• Walter A. Ostromecki of Panorama City, CA
• Edward C. Rochette of Colorado Springs, CO -- Been a big part of the ANA for a long, long time, so he knows about the old days and has seen how the ANA has changed over the years.
• Carl Schwenker III of Houston, TX -- Collector who runs the Money Show of the Southwest and does a great job at it, imo. Very hard working and a guy who is not just an ideas guy, but also a guy who is willing to take on the responsibility of getting things done.

• Anthony A. Tumonis of Tucson, AZ
• Wendell A. Wolka of Greenwood, IN

    The candidate from my area prices his coins quite steeply. Other than that, I like his credentials.
