AMERICAN NUMISMATIC ASSOCIATION EMPLOYEES HONORED

According to a press release issued by the ANA this week, "The
American Numismatic Association held a luncheon Monday at the
Money Museum to recognize six staff members, each observing more
than 15 years of service and celebrating a combined 140 years of
service to the association.

"Pictured from left to right are Barbara Gregory, 26 years; Joyce
Wohlfert, 15 years; Sandy Hill, 17 years; Kimberly Kiick, 25 years;
Marilyn Reback, 22 years; and, Brenda Bishop, 27 years.

"In 1980, Meeting Services Director and Certified Meeting Planner
Brenda Bishop began work at the ANA as a receptionist and accounting
assistant and has held a number of related positions, including
personnel and business manager, before accepting the challenge of
managing the Association's meetings and conventions in 1998.

"Numismatist Editor Barbara Gregory joined the Association in 1981
as a part-time editorial assistant, new to the hobby of coin
collecting. Since then, she has become an advanced numismatist and
credits a previous Numismatist Editor, Neil Harris, with instilling
the importance of quality and attention to detail.

"'I have enjoyed spending over half my life with the ANA - and can't
imagine being anywhere else,' Gregory said.

"Gregory worked for 22 of her 25 years alongside Marilyn Reback,
who began work at the ANA as a temporary employee in 1985. Reback
cites her degree in math with preparing her for the exacting detail
and concentration that is necessary as senior editor of publications."

[Congratulations to all of the honored ANA staffers.  Marilyn Reback
was the Editor of our print journal, The Asylum for a number of years,
so I've worked with her in that capacity as well as in her role at
the ANA.  As General Chairman of the 2004 Pittsburgh convention I had
the pleasure of working closely with Barbara Gregory and Brenda Bishop
as well.  All are top-notch folks who get the job done day in and day
out at ANA headquarters.  Hip hip, hooray!  -Editor]
