ASYLUM ARRIVING AFTER DELAY

  Tom Fort writes: "The latest Asylum issue was mailed last
  Thursday.  We had some problems due to my using a new
  computer (they did not have the latest version of Quark yet),
  and there were some questions regarding the member
  addresses.  All of these have been solved and everyone
  should be getting the latest issue any day."

  Dick Johnson writes: "My Summer 2003 issue of The Asylum
  arrived today with the lead article on me.  Kindly express my
  appreciation to NBS President and author Pete Smith.

  Also my appreciation to Tom Fort for running my picture on
  the cover. I like the gryphons and putti -- nice touch! -- and
  you choose the print of me wearing the ivy crown.  I think this
  print shows my hair length just about right length but I see now
  that my toga is one size too large.  Thanks!"

  [NBS members will get the joke when they see the cover of
  the issue.  The rest of you, well, we hope some of you will
  choose to become members of our organization.  Only paid-up
  members receive issues of our print journal, The Asylum.  The
  latest issue leads off with Dick Johnson's recollections (as told
  to Pete Smith) of his start in numismatics and creation of Coin
  World and other numismatic publications.  Other interesting
  articles include David Lange's essay on "Ghostwriting in
  Numismatics" (reprinted with permission from the Numismatic
  Literary Guild Newsletter), Joel Orosz' Printer's Devil column,
  "Bowers, Books, and Bloviation," George Frederick Kolbe's
  notes on "A Rare Vellum Edition of Andrea Fulvio's Illustrium
  Imagines," Pete Smith's President's Message, and editor E.
  Tomlinson Fort's "Numismatic Literature Bibliography, 2000-
  2003."  Editor]
