I'm sure that many of your readers who have also read Nicholas Basbanes's wonderful book A Gentle Madness will remember to change the punctuations found in Mr. Moore's name to read "Have No More". The tongue-in-cheek naming is a bit obscure, but it is all explained in Basbane's book. My copy is dog-eared from many re-readings.

I recall an article in the Old Farmer's Almanac about the 1916 Liberty Standing quarter. This was the famous "topless" quarter, even though the Type I design was used in 1917 also! I submitted an article to the Almanac on the 1792 half disme, but they didn't want it.

When I was in Seattle in the 70s, the O.P. Eklund collection was still being disseminated, and obtaining coins and tokens with his original envelopes accompanying them was possible and desirable.

Incidentally, if anyone has access to a decent photograph of Eklund, the American Numismatic Association needs it. He is a member of the Numismatic Hall of Fame, and the only photo that anyone has ever found is a small newspaper halftone that looks really ugly when blown up to plaque size.

The article entitled "ALAN V. WEINBERG ON THE HOBBY IN THE 1960S" was a wonderful piece of history for me and many other readers, I would guess. As a relatively new collector (7 years) and numismatic student, Alan's words were a welcome refreshment in today's fast-paced drive-through world.

After reading and hearing stories from bygone years, and the great names from that time, I long for more. His own memories are priceless! I am still waiting to attend a "big" convention, such as an ANA or FUN event, and look forward to learning much, seeing more & making my own memories as well. Thank you Alan!
