    He worked for me in Collectors Clearinghouse when he first came to Coin World in 1976 right out of Journalism School at Bowling Green State College in Ohio. Nice guy.

    Sad news. I got to know him during a Pittsburgh tour at the 1989 ANA. He supplied me with quite a bit of information on the many Coin World medals and tokens that were issued. A very nice guy.

    All glory is fleeting.
