Last week Alan Luedeking asked about Roger De Wardt Lane, author of Brother Can You Spare A Dime? - Modern Dime Size Silver Coins of the
World. -Editor
Alan writes:
This panned out, but not in the way I had hoped. Herman Blanton (former editor in chief of the NI Bulletin) saw my post and responded.
Sadly, Roger DeWardt Lane passed away in 2013.
Steve Schor was also able to confirm this. Below is a link to an online obituary. I'm very sorry to hear the news - Roger was a regular
contributor over a number of years. -Editor
Steve writes:
Roger Lane passed away in 2013 at age 86. I had the privilege of editing the 3rd edition...and have the first book off the press presented to me
by and signed by Roger.
Although I edited the book, I had no hand in doing the original research. This was done solely by Roger over a period of many years from many
sources.
I will try to help Alan Luedeking to the extent that I can, although I have severe limitations with regard to the sources of the information in
the book.
