Here is the front page story:
http://www.newszap.com/articles/200...re/dsn04.txt
The show started slowly, but started to pick up steam within the first hour only to be cut short due to a storm that came through. We really only had about 3 hours.
While I was quite disappointed, it made great news. Many children left with piles of coins, and all seemed to leave with smiles on their faces.
CoinFest has garnered a lot of interest and hopefully will attract future sponsors. I will be emailing Susan and Bobby with many pics so everyone will see some of the highlights. I will also mail each of the forum sponsors a photo disc with all the photos soon.

Only if I were in America!
I could be one of those could having a ball looking through magnificent coins.
I don't have any Key date American coins.
Where I live we never have numismatic conventions.
Well Done to you guys that helped with this.
It looked like a ball!
Are there any Asians on this committee or any below 19's?

And here finally (last and least) is a pic of me.  Buried on page 9 of the paper and printed in black and white, but me nonetheless. I am the one with the coin in hand.

Nope. I got many calls over the past two days about it, but no one has called about finding it. I have a group of coins left over, but I have no desire to look through them to find it.
I cannot promise that it is still in the mix, but the pile that I have currently will be with me in Indy next spring.
I better "see" all of you Hoosiers there.

Did I hear something about a FREE house????? My hearing isn't quite as good as it was before attending all those Rush concerts.
If anyone remembers check out this newspaper either Sunday or Monday. http://www.newszap.com/dover/
I will be the highlighted "Meet your neighbor". I have not seen the final draft yet, but should be interesting reading. The pic provided is a bit old and 30 pounds ago, but an old pic is better than NO pic in the paper
