JR Newsletter: 3 December 2023 (613)




Brad Karoleff wrote about the latest issue of the John Reich Journal:

 

The latest issue, our 100th!, is back from the printer and being mailed in the next couple days.

 

If anyone does not receive theirs by the 20th please let me know at bkaroleff(at)yahoo.com and I will send out a replacement.  

 

As you will see this is a 72-page issue.  The membership has stepped up to my request to make the 100thissue something special.   With that came extra expenses in printing, postage and envelopes.  You will find a request in with the journal for donations to help defray the expense of this double issue.  You will also find a dues notice for next year if you are an annual member.  Please forward your check to David as soon as possible to make his bookkeeping responsibilities easier.  You will also find the voting ballot for this years’ Jules Reiver Literary Award.  Please vote for up to 3 articles and return your ballot to David with your dues check.

 

I look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming FUN convention in Orlando.  The JRCS meeting will feature a presentation by Chris Pilliod and David Finkelstein on the 1795 plug dollars.  I am especially looking forward to seeing what these two sleuths have uncovered this time!

 

Now, Dasher now Dancer now Prancer and Vixen.  On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen.  To the top of the aisle to the top of the case now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!  As the cherries are scattered before the wild hurricane fly when they meet with a buyer into the collection they go!  With a sleigh full of NEWPS and a wallet as empty as snow each of us run to catalog the coins anew.  And away the collectors all flew like the down of a thistle and I heard them say Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night!
