DR. Q. BO DAWVIES RETURNS

  A correspondent emailing from an account under the name
  of "Walter Breen" submitted the following:

  Perhaps the following might be of interest to E-sylum readers.
  Yours Truly,
  S.S. Elreep, 4/1/2003

  We have the privilege of announcing the long awaited return
  of Dr. Q. Bo Dawvies to the numismatic scene.  Dr. Dawvies
  favored us with the following press release:

  My new firm, Arcane Miniaturistic Maimers, will be setting up
  at the 103rd annual National Middle States convention this
  August.  As everybody knows, I've been attending the National
  Middle States conventions for years, in fact I had a table there
  when my mother was still pregnant.  My dad had to guarantee
  it as I was not yet born.  It?s been said that, after the show, I
  was born with a 1909-SVDB in my hand.  Fortunately for my
  mother the slab had not yet been invented.  Apparently no one
  recognized the coin since Lincoln cents were not yet circulating.
  I thought it was a dandy design and exhibited the coin at my
  first birthday party.  Everyone thought it was real nifty and the
  splendiferous example was placed front row center next to the
  candle on the cake.

  Many of you have asked what we've been doing since parting
  ways with our predecessor firm, Awesome Barrelled Earnings.
  I?ve been delving into the life of one Warren B.Etel, who holds
  a unique place in the pantheon of American numismatists.  Mr.
  Etel was the fourth cousin of Augustus Sage and the seventh
  cousin (twice removed) of Edward Cogan.  Although Mr. Etel
  never met either of these esteemed luminaries, it seems that on
  several occasions he actually spent American coins.  Our six
  hundred page volume will "put you there" at the scene of each
  of these most memorable transactions.

  It?s a pleasure to be back and we look forward to meeting all
  of you at the National Middle States!"

  [I am not making that up.  It really did show up in my email.
  Happy April Fool's Day.   -Editor]
