    I don't believe he travels much anymore.

    I felt his presence, he is strong with the numismatic force

    He has been to every ANA show from 1955-2019. His record of 65 consecutive shows will be very hard to ever break.

    He was not there.

    Eric Newman missed one?

    His dyslexic high school friends called him "Bowser" ;)

    I hope he is in good health. I cant think of a man who has contributed more to the hobby than Q. David Bowers.

    At the first coin show I ever attended, the Spring 1963 Central States show in downtown Chicago, I recall riding in the elevator with Q. David Bowers. He was already an extremely well known numismatic personality by that time.
