FORMER ANA LIBRARIAN WILLIAM DEWEY HOSPITALIZED

David Gladfelter writes: "William S. Dewey, numismatic
writer, former ANA librarian and a Krause Numismatic
Ambassador in 1987, was taken to Valley Hospital in New
Jersey on December 6, the day after his 100th birthday.
He is in critical condition with multiple problems. He
celebrated his birthday early (on Thanksgiving weekend)
at the home of his granddaughter Jinny (and John) in
Wyckoff. His children are hopeful that he will beat the
odds and be able to enjoy his 100th Christmas soon. In
his Christmas card he wrote: "It's a privilege to be a
century old, and I feel especially grateful to have been
able to fulfill my dream of writing two books on the
history of the pinelands and many articles on Admiral
Dewey that were published during my retirement years.
I'm grateful too, for my wonderful family and friends
-- you all mean so much to me." Let's pull for him."
