ADAMS LIBRARY SALEROOM MEMORIES SOUGHT

  Robert Christie writes: "In The Money Tree's 23rd sale of
  numismatic literature on June 24th, 1995 I won Del Bland's
  auction room copy of George Kolbe's sale of Selections
  From The John W. Adams library held in June, 1990.  Inside
  the front cover is a list of all the bidders and their bidder
  numbers.    Alongside each lot in the public part of the auction
  is the number of the bidder who won the lot and what they paid.
  Del Bland was bidding on lots for Dennis Mendelson.  I have
  both of their invoices.  I could give Del a hug for keeping such
  meticulous records of a great auction.  The following people
  attended this auction with their bid numbers following.

  R.E. Naftzger Jr. bidding for ANS   15
  Dan Hamelberg   1
  Del Bland   14
  Dennis Mendelson   16
  Alan Meghrig   17
  John Bergman   4
  Armand Champa   7
  Jess Patrick   6
  Dick Punchard   342
  Dr. Phillip W. Ralls   12
  Tom Reynolds   3
  Dan Demeo   19
  Jan Valentine   11
  Chris Victor-McCauley   25
  Ray Bisordi   5
  Jeff Rock   50
  Stuart Levine   23
  Denis W. Loring   281

  I know that several of the above people are no longer with
  us, but I would very much like to hear from the rest and have
  them share their memories of that auction with me.  Del Bland
  made me feel as though I was there.  Maybe George Kolbe
  has some memories of that auction to share.  My address is
  Robert Christie, 233 Fair Street, Carmel, N.Y. 10512
  I look forward to hearing from you."
