Years ago I helped start the program for kids at the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists coin shows in Pittsburgh. PAN has not only
continued the tradition, but raised it to a whole new level thanks to Sam Deep, Bob Stakeley and a host of other local volunteers. Pat
McBride forwarded these photos from last weekend's show. Thanks! -Editor
Wow! If the numismatic hobby is dying on the vine you can't tell that to Pittsburgh. What a strong cadre of youngsters! But wait -
there's more! -Editor
Pat McBride adds:
Our final count was 62 kids. The group photo includes about 40 of them. The others were either camera shy or roaming the bourse floor.
The T-shirts came as a result of a donation by NSS Life. I would call it a successful sponsorship.
