I read your History of the Coin Library twice since I already had the notice of the Newman Numismatic Portal Project with mention of your name.

I can imagine how thrilled you are to see some of your plans and ideas come to fruition and be associated with the Newman Project. You had mentioned some of these in phone conversations but now I understand the full scope of the project.

Your databank and expertise combined with the Newman resources will provide writers and researchers in the field with a vast resource useful beyond our present comprehension. We look forward to the future with great excitement for what can be produced for advancing the knowledge of numismatics.

The thrill of owning a new specimen can be matched with an ever increasing amount of data about that piece. This will raise collecting numismatic items to a height never achieved before.

We are on the cusp of a new era of numismatics and colleting in a field we all love. Glad to learn your talents will carry this endeavor further.
