The E-Sylum: Volume 11, Number 5, February 3, 2008, Article 12 FRANK CAMPBELL, HIS PREDECESSORS, AND THE ANS LIBRARY ANS Fellow Richard Margolis writes: "As a member of the American Numismatic Society since 1952 I keenly appreciate what a loss it will be when Frank Campbell, who has been practically a part of the scenery for half a century, retires. "Change is often unpleasant, and it will probably be especially so in Frank's case. Others have commented on Frank's qualities, and I can only echo them: Frank is modest, competent, extremely accommodating, an expert on library science, and an unusually nice human being to boot. "I would add that the contributions of the two previous ANS librarians of my acquaintance, Dick Breadon, and Geoff North, should not be forgotten. To quote the ANS in 2002, when Geoff died, "Together with Breadon, Geoff undertook a program of reorganization and upgrading that did much to render the library the great resource that it is today". Like Frank, Dick and Geoff were quietly modest, particularly amiable and capable individuals. "I am hopeful that Frank's replacement will be able to adequately fill his oversize shoes, and that he or she will be selected in time to receive the benefit of some of Frank's matchless knowledge and decades of experience of the ANS library, before he departs on his well earned retirement. One also hopes that as the ANS continues its peregrinations, due diligence will be paid to insure that the library will have more than adequate facilities in its latest location."
