Friends
I am formally asking that the powers that be that hide in the back and help keep WINS operate step forward. I am asking for one more revision to
the by-laws.
No, I am not going to ask for elections, I am not going to try to revive old difficulties.
I am asking that the By-Laws be amended to include a new class of member. While there are no dues and no annual membership registrations I am
asking that we create a new type of membership
I would like to create an HONORARY type of membership for numismatic heros. There are a few people that we should pursue and ask to join our
club. Honorary membership might be something that they would do, even if
they were not generally joining clubs
There was some discussion in regard to Dave Bowers being asked to join our club. I would suggest that he be the first person awarded a life or
honorary membership.
Second, I propose to suggest that we offer a life or honorary
membership to Barry Stuppler. He took on ACG and the ANA Board found that
ASA Accugrade grading standards can mislead the end consumers with regard to
the value of the numismatic items being purchased.
- 1) Dave Bowers
- 2) Barry Stuppler
- 3) J. D. White
- 4) Joe Garbarini
The third suggestion is for his enormous generosity to our club. While JD may just be a regular guy, like most of us, and not trade coins like
the big firms he has given so much personally to each of us.
the forth suggestion, though he will resist it, is for a person who has given away more coins then most of us will ever collect. He remembers
what each of us collect. He cares deeply for the hobby. He is so kind and
thoughtful of others he wont even have a clue why his name is up here
My personal thanks to the people that make this hobby enjoyable.
