Maya,

The recent Curry's edition was wonderful. I sent comments to the editor a couple weeks back. Did you receive them?

Belay Off,

I double checked, and yes, we did receive your letter to the editor materials a couple weeks ago. You're right on track!

Greetings

Here is a short letter I sent in to to the "letters to the editor"

Dear Editor

I have written to this Letters to the Editor column many times before praising the accomplishments of our club publication Curry's Chronicle.
Well, I am writing again to heap more deserved praise upon this high quality publication.
Curry's began at a high level and has only risen from there.

Before I mention my favorite articles I must make note of the awards that the Chronicle garnered this past year:
1. Numismatic Literary Guild - Club Publications - Small Publications BEST ISSUE for 2010
2. American Numismatic Association - Specialty Publication THIRD PLACE for 2010

These are prestigious awards and any and all of us who have contributed in any way are to be congratulated!

Each and every article in this past edition (Fall-Winter 2010) is well done and worthy of great praise. I will mention one in particular as the subject matter of this article is about one of my very favorite "CC" issues - the gold half eagles.
My personal thanks and kudos to member #RM-0188 for his fantastic research project/article A STUDY OF CARSON CITY MINT HALF EAGLES. In his article, John provides a "Key Data Chart" showing (for each "CC" half eagle issue): Date - Mintage - Number of Varieties - Obverse (dies) - Reverse (dies) - New Reverse. His information is invaluable and virtually cannot be found anywhere else. I would hope to eventually see die marriage/variety studies done on each of the other 19-coin gold "CC" series as well.

Great job everyone...every article was superbly done and as I've stated previously (and truthfully), "each Curry's issue gets better and better!

Thank you Belay

I didn't have the space to write a review on everyone's article as mine was just a letter to the editor and I wanted to keep it short, but truthfully, you Belay deserve a very special thank you and credit for being our clubs' mainstay member. You do so much to keep things alive in your great Chronicle articles; in this Blog; in the organization of our regional meeting this year; in your donations to the prize events at that meeting and more and more. So, thank you for your kind words and everything else....you are the man and I'm honored to call you friend.
