ANS BASS LIBRARY DEDICATION

  John W. Adams writes: "On Tuesday, December 2nd, the
  American Numismatic Society Library was dedicated to Harry
  W. Bass, Jr.  Most of you know Harry as an avid collector of
  numismatic books on his own but only a few of you appreciate
  his success in bringing modern technology to the greatest
  numismatic library of all. This accomplishment, along with
  many others, was described movingly by Frank Campbell, his
  friend of 33 years. The large audience then repaired to the 5th
  floor of the new ANS building, where Harry's widow, Mrs.
  Doris Bass, accompanied by her sons David and Michael
  Calhoun, cut the ceremonial ribbon. Skeptics might say that
  the event will be little noted nor long remembered.  However,
  for bibliophiles, the celebration of one of its most honored
  own in a stunning new facility combined for a truly memorable
  occasion.
