Please do stop by the club table to chat with officers and fellow members. With our daughter moving to college this week, I'll be unable to attend the convention this year. Have fun without me, and please submit thoughts and photos to share with readers in future issues of The E-Sylum and our print journal, The Asylum. Longtime E-Sylum supporter Harry Laibstain published the below remarks in an email to clients today; they completely sum up my own feelings and recommendations about the annual event - go there, have fun, and meet with friends new and old. -Editor
"By the time you read this many of those participating in the ANA will be there or en route. Each Summer, numismatists from all over the world convene in the selected city to join the hoopla known as The Money Show. Sponsored by the ANA, the summer show is the larger of the two they host each year. It is the largest event of the year for Numismatists. "My First ANA was in Boston in 1982. I had been in the coin business just shy of two years and I was attending a historic show in a historic city. Heady times for a young man I can assure you. I didn't make New Orleans the next year but was in Milwaukee for 84 and every summer ANA since then. The ANA is not just the largest show but the only one that has unique feel. It's so much more than a coin show. It has a cosmic nature. You go to have experiences and memories that you will take with you when you leave. Interactions with new acquaintances that become long-term relationships. Solidifying existing relationships through shared participation. If you haven't attended a summer ANA in the past, I highly recommend you add it to your future to-do list. "We look forward to seeing as many of our old friends and making as many new friends as we can."
