-Editor
Eric Schena writes: George A. Merz, Treasurer of the Virginia Numismatic Association, passed away on 5 June 2013. George has been a big supporter of spreading and encouraging knowledge on numismatics in the Commonwealth and helped me tremendously in putting out my book on Ingle System scrip. He was a fixture at many coin shows in the area and always willing to talk about history and numismatics. He and Judy have always been kind and generous and absolute joys to be around. I will miss him dearly.
Here's an excerpt from his obituary.
