I'm interested in coin club medals, past and present. While I've seen many coin club medals, I'm not sure who many of the medalists are. I'm aware of Dan Carr and Alphonse Kolb. Who are some other ones?

Here's an article on Alphonse Kolb and his Wikipedia page for some more information on this upstate NY medalist who lived in Rochester and made medals for the Rochester Numismatic Association and Syracuse Numismatic Association.

Joseph E Dinardo was a New York medalist.
Cool. I think I read up on him a bit a while ago.
Here's a summary from Dick Johnson's Medal Artists Databank:
DINARDO, Joseph E. (1938- ) medalist, diesinker.
Full name: Joseph Eugene Dinardo.
Born Schenectady, New York, 17 January 1938.
Acquired transfer engraving machine, not only does his own models, but also diesinking and striking.
Member: American Medallic Sculpture Association.
Here's a bio excerpt with added punctuation:
he helped to design the space suit and back pack used in the Apollo space missions. Joe was later employed by the N.Y.S. Department of Transportation in the structures division for 35 years.
Joe studied sculpture and die engraving in Rochester, N.Y. He manufactured coining dies and operated a metallic art mint in Schenectady for many years. He designed and built a transfer engraving machine which was donated to Union College School of Engineering. He was president of several state and local numismatic societies and LM. 714 of the American Numismatic Association. Joe was an accomplished die engraver and sculptor and minted medals since the 1970s. He received a presidential appointment to the United States Assay Commission in 1973.
