BREEN BIOGRAPHY SOUGHT

  Adrián González Salinas of  Monterrey, N.L. México writes:
  "As always, it's a pleasure to read every Monday's morning
  The E-Sylum.  I have noticed that The E-Sylum continuously
  contains more and more valuable information.  Just a one
  word: Congratulations!  Even though I'm a mexican numismatic
  literature collector I enjoy all of topics included in this
  electronic  publication.

  I would like to take advantage of this e-mail to ask for you
  help. I read in The Asylum an article in which Walter Breen
  appeared.   Could you recommend to me a publication that
  contains a biography of this numismatic scholar?"

  [See "American Numismatic Biographies" by NBS President
  Pete Smith, (Gold Leaf Press, 1992).  Some highlights:  Breen
  was born September 5, 1930 in San Antonio, Texas. He was
  abandoned and adopted; He entered the Air Force in 1946,
  using a phony birth certificate.   He met Wayte Raymond in
  1950.  Raymond hired him to do numismatic research in the
  National Archives.   The entry goes on to include a list of
  his employment affiliations and publications.   -Editor]
