WALTER BREEN BIOGRAPHY

  Three notes in reference to Walter Breen's biography:

  Bill Murray writes: "I expected someone would mention
  the article in Legacy, the house organ published by Heritage
  Coins a few years ago.  I don't have the exact reference
  available, but Heritage could surely furnish it."

  [Heritage already has - the article is on their web site.
  "An Interview With Walter Breen" by Mark Van Winkle
  was originally published in September 1988.   A second
  article, "Reflections on Walter Breen" by David Feigenbaum
  was published in November 2001.  Go to
  http://www.heritagecoin.com/Features/NumisArticles/
  and scroll down the the link to the articles  -Editor].

  Darryl Atchison writes:  "In the Asylum issue dedicated
  to Jack Collins is a well-balanced biography which was
  written by Jack but published posthumously.

  [A quick search in the NIP periodical index (see
   http://www.harrybassfoundation.com/)  located these
   articles on Breen in prior issues of The Asylum.
   Back issues are available from the NBS Secretary-
   Treasurer, David Sklow.  His contact information is at the
   end of this issue.
