FAMILY PROVIDES INFORMATION ON JULIUS GUTTAG

Web site visitor Mark Guttag discovered our earlier discussions
about numismatist Julius Guttag of the firm Guttag Brothers,
inspired by Bob Rightmire's request for information.  Guttag
was the founder of National Coin Week and coauthor of a book
on U.S. Civil War Tokens.

He writes: "Julius Guttag is my grandfather and I was born
shortly after he died, which resulted in my being named after
him - my full name is Mark Julius Guttag. Two of Julius' children
are still living: my aunt, Evelyn Guttag, and my father, Alvin
Guttag. My aunt Erma, his oldest child, passed away a few years ago."

[Mark put me in touch with his father Alvin and I gave him a call
from London Thursday evening.  He was very helpful and it turns
out he wrote an article about Julius Guttag for the Bowers and
Merena Rare Coin Review #66 (Autumn 1987, p48-49).  He also
remembers "Joey Lasser" from the old neighborhood.  Last year
Joe wrote to us with his recollections of Julius Guttag, his
numismatic mentor.   I'm having trouble locating Bob Rightmire's
contact information - email me Bob, and I'll put you in touch
with Alvin to assist your research on the Guttags. -Editor]
