I returned from the FUN
Show late last night and have spent much of today "catching up" with
family and tasks around the house. I did
not have the opportunity to write up anything about my experiences at the show,
but intend to do so for the next issue (in a nutshell: I had a GREAT time with friends in the hobby and working with Rich Uhrich and Dave Perkins was super).
In
the meanwhile, we have a few contributions from readers of the JR Newsletter:

As I am unable to get to FUN,
I would love to see a video of the Finkelstein yellow fever talk if it becomes
available.

I am trying to find an image of an 1835 JR-4 dime with
reverse cud at the lower arrowheads. I am preferably looking for a large image
of the reverse and the cud.
If anyone has an image handy and could send it to me I would
appreciate it.

Thanks,

Finally, some very sad news.
This news was reported to me via telephone call from Brad Karoleff, although
I also saw it reported on the Collectors Universe Forum and in an email
received from numismatic book dealer David Sklow. Using Mr. Sklow's words: The entire Numismatic Literature community mourns the
sudden passing of numismatic book dealer John Burns. John passed away while
attending the F.U.N. Show on Saturday, he was a fixture at many shows around
the east with his mountain of books for sale. He will be missed.
