HOWARD BERLIN VISITS LONDON, OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE

Howard Berlin writes: "I just returned from my trip to London, Oxford
and Cambridge just ahead of the snow that hit there. During my visit
to Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum, Dr. Mark Blackburn, the current
Keeper of the Coins who was serving as my host, introduced me to one
of E-Sylum's subscribers - Yank and ex-pat Prof. Ted Buttrey, a former
classics professor at Yale and later Ann Arbor, then three years as
Keeper of Coins at the Fitzwilliam.

"Ted was busy unpacking some recent acquisition of journals for the
Museum's library holdings and things were a bit dangerous to walk
about -- sort a bit like my own home office.

"As for Oxford, the Ashmolean Museum is now undergoing renovation and
much of the museum's exhibits are packed away until its planned
reopening in 2009. Highlights of their collection, such as the Oxford
Crown, coins from the Cronddal hoard, and the gold 1964 Chemistry Nobel
prize medal of Dorothy Hodgkin of Oxford are on display at The Sakler
library.

"The following trips are scheduled (most having visits to museums
with numismatic exhibits):

February: Istanbul & Athens
March: Dublin (so far just vacation)
May: Dusseldor, Cologne, Frankfurt
November: Venice, Parma, Milan, Monte Carlo, London."
