I wondered whatever happened to Dupee's coin shop owner, so I found the NBS site. The story brought back many memories. I collected coins in high school and went to Dupee's place many times. I'm pretty sure he was there in 1959, as that was freshman year in High School in West haven CT. I recall taking the bus there from 1959 to about 1961. Frank was a kindly man and helpful to novice coin collectors with not a lot of money to spend. Thanks for reviving the memory.
