The only hint is that a numismatic award carries his name.

No.
The 2002 recipient of the award for excellence in numismatic writing is R.W. ("Bob") Julian.
Julian has been a contributing historian and author to hobby periodicals for more than 30 years. Throughout and after teaching high school mathematics, he has maintained his dedication to the study of history, with numismatic history consuming a large part of his interest.
Considered to be one of the top researchers in American numismatics of the 20th and now 21st centuries, Julian has greatly expanded the corpus of knowledge of the subject. Since 1960, he has established himself as one of the most prolific writers in the field.
Julian has written numerous articles for The Numismatist, Numismatic Scrapbook, Coin World, Coins and other numismatic periodicals and is a contributing editor for COINage magazine. Basing his work almost entirely on original research he conducted in the National Archives as well as other primary sources, Julian has repeatedly received the ANA's highest literary honors.
In addition to his achievements in the study of American coinage, Julian also is recognized as an authority in the fields of official United States medals and Russian numismatics. His books include Medals of the United States Mint, The First Century, 1792-1892; From Rus to Revolution; Russian Coins through a Thousand years; Medals of the U.S. Assay Commission, 1860-1977; and Russian Silver Coinage, 1796-1917.
A collector since the age of 11, Julian joined the ANA in 1958 when he was 19 years old and received his 40-year membership pin in 1998. He became a fellow of the ANS in 1991.
In bestowing upon R.W. Julian the Burnett Anderson Memorial Award for Excellence in Numismatic Writing, the American Numismatic Association, American Numismatic Society and Numismatic Literary Guild express the sincere appreciation of their members.

I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
