THOUGHTS ON JERRY REMICK

Fred Reed writes: "I am very sorry to hear of Jerry's death.
I only "knew' Jerry in the 1970s when I was at Coin World
and I knew him best (I'll bet many of us did) by his letterhead
which listed dozens and dozens of numismatic affiliations.
At first this struck me as somewhat off-putting, especially
when his stationery would be amended by hand as
organizations would transpire or he'd join others. As time
went on, however, and Jerry's many writings (especially
book reviews and notices) would reach my desk I came
to realize that he was a genuine decent individual with a
great many interests and by golly some of them were my
interests too. So this individualistic approach was an
excellent way of reach out across the miles and make
"friends." Jerry's great diversity of interests made him
kind of a one-man wire service in the days before the
Internet, and surely a Renaissance spirit in our hobby.
He will be missed by his many correspondent "friends."
