NATIONAL COIN BOOK WEEK REACTION

Tony Tumonis of Tucson, AZ writes: "I think the idea of having a
National Coin Book Week is a great idea.  If we started a grass roots
movement proposing to work with all the Coin Clubs around the country,
I think it would be a wonderful success.  We could solicit support
from organizations like the ANA and ANS, as well as dealers and the
major hobby publications.  Coin Clubs could gather volunteers to spend
time at their local libraries during the week putting together displays
and exhibits and answering questions.  The ANA, ANS and hobby publications
could help in promoting and advertising the idea.  The dealers could
assist with advertising and perhaps contribute funds and/or books
towards their local libraries.  It's a great way to promote education
in numismatics."

[Tony is a candidate for the American Numismatic Association Board of
Governors.  Regarding Tom Denly's note about a current governor who
professed to not reading the major weekly hobby newspapers, Tony adds
"I agree with Tom Denly that anyone that desires to serve on the Board
of the ANA needs to know how the industry feels.  Our hobby publications
publish the news so their readers can make informed decisions."

"I'm sure everybody running for the Board is sincere in promoting
Education and assisting the ANA in moving forward.  For the last 100
years the ANA has fulfilled its charter in promoting education and
will continue to do so long into the future."

I've limited my excerpts of Tony's remarks to those dealing with
reading and education, key focus areas of The E-Sylum.  Issues of
ANA membership retention, volunteer participation and the ANA Club
Representative program are beyond our scope, but like Tony, I urge
everyone to read the candidates' platforms carefully and learn where
they stand on the key issues before voting.  -Editor]
