The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 35, August 26, 2001, Article 3 OROSZ WINS HEATH LITERARY AWARDS Congratulations to NBS Historian and board member Joel Orosz, who bagged not one, but TWO Heath Literary Awards! From the press release by the American Numismatic Association: "The Heath Literary Award, introduced in 1949 and named for George Heath, ANA founder and the first editor of The Numismatist, recognizes outstanding articles published in the last year in the journal. The first-place Heath Literary Award went to Joel J. Orosz of Kalamazoo, Michigan, for "Gilmor and the 1804 Silver Dollars," published in the June 2000 issue. For this distinction, he received an engraved silver medal, certificate and $250 cash prize. Also presented to Orosz was the second-place award - an engraved, bronze medal, a certificate and a $100 cash prize - for "The Curious Case of the Collectors Kline" published in the October 2000 issue." In response to my congratulatory message, Orosz wrote: "It really came as a shock to me, since I've never even placed before--and to go 1-2 really was icing. Now that you mention it, I can't recall anyone ever winning two Heaths--although it could have been done before mere kids like us were on the scene. By the way, the E-Sylum keeps getting more spectacular -- but it must be eating more of your time as a result. Hopefully, you have a little more of that now that you've passed the torch on to Pete." [Not really, but time flies when you're having fun. It's always a pleasure to open my mailbox and find correspondence from E-Sylum subscribers. You're the stars of the show. -Editor]
