HANNAH AND HER BROTHERS

  I'd like to thank everyone for their kind wishes on the birth
  of our daughter, Hannah.  I've heard from subscribers all
  over the U.S.,  plus Great Britain, Israel and Italy.

  Ferdinando Bassoli writes:  "I supposed you were, as I am,
  an old retired gentleman, busying himself, in free time, with
  numismatic bibliomania. To my utmost pleasure I discover
  now that you are a young happy father..."

  Well, I feel like an old-timer sometimes.  I've been involved
  with numismatic literature for 25 years now, but I started
  when I was 20.  Dee and I married seven years ago and now
  we're raising 3 children.  Free time is hard to come by, so I
  get on the computer when everyone else is asleep.

  When Hannah was born I missed my regular 2nd Wednesday
  meeting of the Sphinx Society, a marvelous local coin club
  here in Pittsburgh that I've written about before.  I had spoken
  to fellow Sphinx member Don Carlucci earlier that day.  He
  said if I came to the meeting he'd buy me a drink --  and
  promise to testify on my behalf at the divorce proceeding....
