NBS FOUNDING MEMBERS LIST UPDATE

Pete Smith submitted this update on his effort to identify early members of our Society. Thanks. -Editor

NBS logo Two weeks ago I inquired about the founding members of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society who met in St. Louis in 1979. I have corresponded with George F. Kolbe who started the society with Jack Collins. Kolbe recalls that there was a brief meeting in the hotel lounge followed by a dinner. People who attended were in agreement that there should be an organized society for those who collect numismatic literature. He could not recall who was at the dinner.

In the past three weeks I have corresponded with five people who recall being at the dinner and another five people who might have been there but were not. From these discussions, I have come up with a partial list of those who attended.

Those who were definitely at the dinner include Jack Collins, George Kolbe, Q. David Bowers, Keith Kelman, Denis Loring, and Jesse Patrick. Others who may have attended include John Bergman, Armand Champa, Jon Hanson and Cal Wilson.

Next year will be the 40th anniversary of our Society. I have been working with NBS Historian Joel Orosz to review the limited membership records. Perhaps a long ignored record will turn up to clarify this important list of founding members.
