The ANA's 114th Anniversary Convention in 2005, originally scheduled for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will now be held in California to coincide with issuance of the Golden State's commemorative quarter. Pittsburgh will host the 113th Anniversary Convention in 2004, the year Denver, Colorado, was set to host the show. The "Mile High City" instead will be the site of the 115th Anniversary Convention in 2006 - the year the Colorado state quarter will be issued. As in 1996, when the ANA convention last was held in Denver, the 2006 show will close on Saturday, followed by a special "Day at the ANA" at the Association's home and headquarters in Colorado Springs. The change in dates for the Denver show caused the ANA Board of Governors to consider the show for Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 2007. The ANA convention schedule is as follows: * 2001 - Atlanta, Georgia (August 8-12) * 2002 - Jacksonville, Florida (March 7-9) * 2002 - New York City, New York (July 31 - August 4) * 2003 - Charlotte, North Carolina (March) * 2003 - Baltimore, Maryland (July) * 2004 - Portland, Oregon (March) * 2004 - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (date to be announced) * 2005 - Kansas City, Missouri (March) * 2005 - California (city and date to be announced) * 2006 - Denver, Colorado (date to be announced) * 2007 - Milwaukee, Wisconsin (date to be announced) These are the proposed convention sites and are subject to change by the Board of Governors. The ANA has high expectations for all of its future conventions and is excited to continue bringing quality events to member ============================================== Editorial ----------------------------------------------- Yesterday Judy delivered some things to me. She had a sly smile on her face when I greeted her. As soon as she could get her hands free, she presented her MPC challenge coin. I reached into my pocket to meet the challenge and knew why she was smiling and knew that I had been HAD! Not only did she win the challenge, but she KNEW that she was going to win. After only a short delay, she dug further in her purse and produced MY challenge coin which she had found on her car seat where it had fallen out of my pocket! That hurt! ============================================== Mail Call ----------------------------------------------- Fred, I am trying to buy a silk WW 2 Glider Pilot Survival Map about 24" x 30" in size. I want to make a fair offer and encourage the person into selling the item. What do you think is a good offer both wholesale and retail ? Did you or any of the Gramsters ever see one ?? Own one ? ? ? etc.?? ?? ?? Keith Dear Gram, Just wanted to pass on a little information to Mr. Boling on the "In God We Trust" motto.......I believe the first U.S. money to use that motto was the 2 cent coins in the 186o's. The fist U.S. paper money to use that motto was in the 2nd phase/printing of production of the 1935-G Series. The first phase/printing of the 1935-G Series was printed WITHOUT the motto (1,173,360,000 notes printed plus an additonal 53,200,000 star notes were printed). The "In God We Trust" was added when the second phase/printing was initiated (194,600,000 notes printed PLUS an additional 8,640,000 star notes printed). As for the "red" $2.00 bills....there are a couple of series that carry a good price. The 1928-B series is fairly pricey (I believe the 1928-b star note at one time was valued at over a $1,000 in fine condition). Several other 1928-a/b/c/e star notes were also fairly expensive. Hope this info might help someone....... PK6 Dear Gram Reserve one palce for me at MPC Fest III 8-10 march 2002. Ciao Guido Dear Guido, It is more than a pleasure for me to reserve a Fest spot for you. It is particularly important to make this reservation because you are the first official reservation for Fest III and you are a FTF (first time Fester), and, finally, you are the first Fester from Italy! Be sure to stock up on your sleep before arriving here! Editor Dear Gramsters: I would like to thank all the numismatists who receive the Gram for their support in my campaign for the ANA Presidency. As you know I have been elected as the 52nd ANA President. I will work hard to advance our hobby. Thanks again for your support and hope to see some of you at the Atlanta ANA. Yours in Numismatics, John Wilson ANA President elect 2001-2003 Don't quote me on this but as a member of the 40&8 (a military honor society named after the French tendency to put either 40 American soldiers or 8 mules into a boxcar heading for the front in WWI) I believe that 48 such cars were sent to America after WWI. One for every state. I seem to remember reading that in one of the pieces of Societyliterature. Dear Herb, I do not know if this counts as a quote or not, but thanks for writing.
