GASPARRO SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISING EVENT

  Speaking of Gasparro, another convention event should be
  of interest to anyone who collects artwork by U.S. Mint
  engravers.  At 6pm Friday the "Frank Gasparro Memorial
  Fund Scholarship Event" will take place.   The event is a
  fundraiser for the Fleischer Art Institute in Philadelphia.
  Specifically, funds raised will go toward a scholarship fund
  in the name of the late Frank Gasparro, former Chief
  Engraver of the U.S. Mint.  Gasparro was so grateful for
  the art education he received at Fleischer that he taught
  courses there for free for the rest of his life, until just
  months before his death.  I understand several donated
  original works of art by present and past mint engravers
  will be auctioned at the event.  How often do numismatists
  get a chance like that?
