LINDA KOLBE, 1942–2016
NBS co-founder George Kolbe submitted this sad news.
-Editor
Several years later, the two entered the numismatic literature business in a small way, expanding their activities in the late 70s into a full-time enterprise. In the following years, Linda was an integral part of the business, handling much of the correspondence, paying bills, answering the telephone, proofreading catalogues and even stuffing them into mailing envelopes, among innumerable other activities. Above all, she imbued the business with a certain grace and kind spirit appreciated by all who knew her. Without her, George Frederick Kolbe Fine Numismatic Books would have been but a shadow of what it became. A funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, November 15th, at St. Andrew Church in Pasadena, California. May she rest in peace.
We're very sorry to hear this news. Linda was a gracious co-host on my visits to the Kolbe home and headquarters over the years. Her contributions to NBS and numismatic literature in general are much appreciated. She will be missed.
