FRANK VAN ZANDT

  George Kolbe writes: "I just learned that Frank Van Zandt
  passed away Saturday morning, October 30th, after long
  being ill. In a field filled with unusual and remarkable people,
  Frank stood out from his peers. A collector all his life, Frank
  was past president of the Rochester Numismatic Association
  and also served the Numismatic Bibliomania Society as
  Secretary-Treasurer.

  Over the past fifteen years, Frank formed an outstanding
  numismatic library.  Coming from an old-time numismatic
  family, Frank was deeply engrossed in American numismatics
  but his interests ranged far wider than that and he sought and
  obtained key numismatic works in an impressive number of
  other areas. At heart, Frank was a historian, and perhaps his
  first love was his extensive library centering on New York
  and early American history, particularly as it relates to native
  Americans.

  In some ways Frank was like Jack Collins. Opinionated and
  pugnacious at times, Frank, like Jack, had a heart of gold and
  was a valued friend.  He truly loved his family. His wife of 31
  years, Barbara, was his treasure. He was devoted to her and
  often commented to me that she was the brains of the family,
  though those who knew him are well aware that this "simple
  farmer" from upstate New York was certainly not lacking in
  that department. He likewise doted on his only son Bill.

  Bill Coe forwarded an following obituary notice from the
  from the Sunday, October 31, 2004  Democrat and Chronicle
