UPDATE FROM Q. DAVID BOWERS

  Dave Bowers writes: "I am writing to state that I am
  overwhelmed and amazed by the calls and e-mails I have
  received regarding the sudden termination of my employment
  by the new CEO (Michael Haynes) of Collectors Universe,
  who arrived on the job on January 1.  I have had offers of
  money, assistance, help with moving, loans of books, and even
  lodging" you name it! I never expected to have such an
  outpouring from many of the largest 'names' in numismatics,
  including quite a few competitors! Indeed, my e-mail file from
  well-wishers could well form a nucleus for a book, "Who's
  Who in American Numismatics." All of this is inspiring and
  wonderful to me, and I am extremely grateful.   Please pass
  my appreciation along to the many NBS members who have
  been a part.

  As mentioned in my earlier note to you, my research and
  writing should be okay in the future, except that my library
  of thousands of items is packed in two hastily rented premises,
  and it will be some time until I can sort everything out and
  determine my legal options.  All of this happened unexpectedly
  and, as you might expect, has caused many sleepless nights.
  Ditto for my other top staffers, Christine Karstedt and John
  Babalis.

  My spirit and my enthusiasm for numismatics and the people
  in it are as bright as ever.   I do not yet have a business identity
  or telephone, but my contact information is:

  Q. David Bowers

  Wolfeboro Falls, NH 03896-0539

  Best wishes, Wayne, and thanks again "and to all of your
  readers!"
