SUBSCRIBER PROFILE: ROBERT MAISCH

New Sunday subscriber Robert Maisch provided this numismatic profile. Thanks, and welcome aboard! -Editor

I'm a member of the ANA (LM 1717), TAMS, CSNS, NENA, South Dakota Coin and Stamp Association and Bridge City Coin and Stamp Club of Mobridge, SD. I was receiving The E-Sylum through the ANA and I shared it with some of the South Dakota movers and shakers so you may get some others from South Dakota wanting to be on the list.

I'm US Navy Retired (1956 to 1976), I joined the ANA IN 1971 and my late wife Cheryl joined in 1975. Cheryl passed away March 3, 2018. We have received the Glenn Smedley Award, a Presidential Award and the Medal of Merit. We were always active in the ANA National Coin Week activities. We were both ANA Certified Judges.

Stationed in Hawaii, I was Treasurer and then President of the Hickam Area Coin Club. Both Cheryl and I served on the Hawaii State Numismatic Association Board. Upon our departure we were recognized with Honorary Life Memberships #1 and #2.

Cheryl was Librarian of the Token and Medal Society (TAMS) for 15 years prior to Peter Irion. TAMS selected two of my design concepts for their medals We were both honored to become Numismatic Ambassadors.

While in Maine we were President and Secretary/Treasurer and conducted the Spring and Fall Shows. For NENA we served on the Board, were President and Vice President the year Maine clubs hosted a NENA Convention. NENA has selected four of my design concepts for its annual convention medals.

In South Dakota we were editors of the SDC&SA newsletters, which I do solo now. For the local Mobridge club I chair the NCW activities with the help of several retired teachers and club members. Our design contest entries range from 214 to 245 student participants. We prepare numismatic and historical questions for KOLY, the local radio station, during NCW The club donated books to the A.H. Public Library during NCW and now with gifts from dealers like P. Cunningham, S. Miedema, V. Binfet, the club and others, the library now has the largest number of numismatic and philately related books in the state. The books cover all age groups and levels of experience.

In 2019, members, for its 100th Anniversary of the Parker-Browder American Legion Post 4, asked and approved my design concept for their medal of which we now have about a dozen left.

I am very proud to be part of this community.
