ANA, WARTS AND ALL, NAMES ENTIRE MUSEUM FOR ROCHETTE

In a press release published December 6, the American
Numismatic Association announced a resolution of the recent
controversy over the naming of the ANA Museum.  The
following is an excerpt:

"We are grateful for the assistance of Chet Krause and
Cliff Mishler, and happily can announce the following
mutually satisfactory arrangement:  The American Numismatic
Association Money Museum at ANA headquarters in Colorado
Springs, Colorado will be named in honor of Edward C.
Rochette, a distinguished former Executive Director and
former President of the association."

Recognition of the museum naming will be conducted this
coming July when hundreds of collectors from across the
country attend the annual ANA Summer Seminar.

"I've known Ed since 1963 when he was Editor of Numismatic
News, and then he went on to serve the ANA beginning in
1966.  It is appropriate that the museum be named in his
honor," said Krause who now has rescinded his earlier
resignation of his ANA membership.

Mishler said:  "For all of its 114 years, the ANA has had
warts.  But, warts and all, the ANA is still the best
collector's organization in the hobby."
