Last year numismatic researchers Nancy Oliver and Richard Kelly were tragically affected by the wildfire that destroyed the town of Paradise,
California. The numismatic community including many E-Sylum readers chipped in to help them get back on their feet. Rich Kelly submitted this
update. -Editor
This is a thank you note to all E-Sylum readers who assisted Nancy and I in our recovery from our losses in the Camp Fire of
Paradise, CA.
With the GoFundMe monies, Nancy and I have purchased two new desktop computers, two printers, office supplies, and several books to help replenish
our numismatic research library. Several books that we still need, and other research documentation will be replaced in the near future. However, we
realize much of our material can never be replaced - maybe some just from memory.
Nevertheless, we are happy to announce that it looks as if we will be returning to our monthly "Numismatic Chronicles" column in The
Numismatist this August. Hope you all will enjoy our stories once again.
It has been a long road to find and resettle in a new area within the suburbs of Sacramento, but it might have been even harder without the
kindness and assistance from all of you and from others (family and friends). We can now say that we have returned to some semblance of normalcy and
stability.
Our thanks and appreciation,
Rich Kelly and Nancy Oliver
Researchers and authors of Numismatic Chronicles
That's great news. Many thanks to all who contributed to the fund. It's great to be part of such a generous community. Good luck to Rich
& Nancy as they resume their research and writing. We'll be looking forward to their future columns! -Editor
