UPDATE FROM DAVE HIRT  

   NBS Secretary-Treasurer Dave Hirt sends his regards to all. 
   He recently returned from a visit to Budapest.  He picked up 
   a few new coins, but no literature this trip.

   Dave also reports receiving a letter from a gentleman in Ireland.

NBS WEB SITE UPDATE  

   There haven't been many updates to the society's web page in 
   a while, but there are a number of things going on behind the 
   scenes that we'll report in future issues.   One new feature: 
   Larry Mitchell has started to compile a numismatic bibliography 
   to flesh out the slim listings currently on the web site.  Thanks 
   for pitching in, Larry! 
   

RESEARCH QUESTION: J. L. RIDDELL  

   NBS Member Brad Karoleff asks:  "Does anyone know if  the 
   J.L. Riddell who wrote the "Monograph of the Silver Dollar Good 
   and Bad" is the same J.L. Riddell that was the postmaster of the 
   Confederacy? -  Your help would be appreciated."
