SCHIMMEL FOOD STAMP CHANGE NEWSLETTER

Last week Rod Charleton II asked "how many issues of the Food Stamp
Change Newsletter were published by Jerry F. Schimmel during the
1980's?"

Duane H. Feisel was able to put Rod directly in touch with Jerry
Schimmel.  Duane collaborated with Jerry on "California Food Stamp
Credit Tokens 1939 - 1979 Including Nevada Food Stamp Tokens", a
wire bound, 8½ x 11 card covered publication.

David Gladfelter adds: "Jerry Schimmel laid this periodical down
in 1984 after publishing 17 issues and 3 supplements (Iowa, New
Jersey and New York). He may be able to supply copies. Write to
him at P. O. Box 40888, San Francisco, CA. 94140."

Bob Lyall writes: "I just checked on the one copy of Food Stamp
Change that I have, it is the one on the Virgin Islands tokens which
I co-authored and find it is #13, so I emailed Jerry Schimmel to ask
him and he tells me he published 17 issues.  He thinks he has some
spare copies but isn't too sure just where they are.  But he could
be reached at jschim40@sbcglobal.net."

Ron Benice writes: "Rod may be interested in an article I wrote,
Alaska Food Stamp Tokens, which appeared in the April 1988 issue of
the TAMS Journal.  Besides listing 313 items, it has a summary of
early researchers and manufacturers, including the information on
Schimmel's publication."

Rod writes: "Outstanding!!  I couldn't be happier.  I received three
replies and one was from Jerry Schimmel himself.  I look forward to
The E-Sylum every week and all the interesting articles and questions.
More people should be using this valuable tool in my opinion.  Thanks
for including my question."
