REMEMBERING DOUGLAS BALL

  Dick Doty, Curator of Numismatics, Smithsonian Institution
  writes: "I just got your message about Douglas Ball's death.
  He was a friend and mentor of twenty years' standing, a true
  gentleman in an increasingly-impolite age.  I last saw him at
  the Baltimore show last autumn, and he appeared to be in
  remission, looked fit.  Then he matter-of-factly observed that
  the doctors had told him that he had two, perhaps three,
  years left.  I wish he had at least been granted that time.
  As it is, I can only mourn the passing of a friend, the research
  opportunities and possibilities left unexplored by the absence
  of a very special person."
