ANA MUSEUM RENAMED

In a release from Colorado Springs, CO dated Saturday,
July 2, 2005, Mike Ellis writes: "Today in a joint press
conference and dedication ceremony held by Christopher
Cipoletti, Executive Director of the American Numismatic
Association; Chet Krause, founder of hobby giant Krause
Publications; and Cliff Mishler, Krause Publications past
President and longtime company spokesman announced a
$500,000.00 donation to the American Numismatic Association.
The ceremony was held in the upper gallery of what was
formerly known as the ANA Money Museum.

Today the name was changed. While unfurling an approximately
15 foot long, heavy duty canvas banner attesting to the name
change it was announced that the donation was given in honor
of naming the museum the "Edward C. Rochette Money Museum."
Half the money was raised by Krause Publications to help support
the ongoing renovation while half was given by an anonymous
donor in honor of Ed Rochette who had done so much for the
organization. Among the many contributions Ed has made include
being a past president, a multiple times past Executive Director,
responsible for the $1.00 per year lease agreement for the
permanent location of headquarters on the Colorado College
campus and founder of the highly successful annual Summer
Seminar. Ed currently enjoys the well-earned title of Executive
Director Emeritus of the ANA. It was also announced that Mr.
Rochette had just accepted a position on the initial board of
directors for the new Gallery Mint Museum Foundation, a not
for profit corporation dedicated to the preservation and
advancement of the numismatic arts."
