staffed the greeting and registration table. Happy, happy... |
| Here's Roy Iwata who chaired the Gold Benefit
Drawing this year, getting tickets printed up, distributing them for sale,
and having the chore of having to buy GOLD COINS (well, somebody has to do
it). |

Here's the 32 gold beauties that everyone was panting about.

| A bird's eye view of the bourse floor. There
were 55 dealer tables chock full of numismatic goodies. I don't know about
everybody else, but I know I did my part in keeping financial incentives up
for the dealers. |

David and Nancee Nichols were present with the "Coins for
Kids" table again this year. A hit just like last time, there were all kinds
of activities for the youngsters. |
| And what would any coin show be without
exhibits? From left: Don Foster, Pauline Pelletier and Terry Foster look
over some of the many interesting and educational exhibits. |
 |
 |
One of the exhibits was on the money of the island of Yap.
Did you know that the NASC owns a Yap stone? Well we do, and here it is... |
| There were more exhibits including additional
information on the island of Yap. |
 |
 |
A table set up with flowers and memorials in remembrance of
the late Virginia Hall and Murray Singer. |
| When Saturday evening came around the fosters
went to work putting together all of the awards for the exhibitors. The
presentation was made at our buffet party. Can you tell there was a luau
theme? |
 |
 |
More leis around the table. We filled up some eight tables
with cheery faces like this. I think everyone had a good time... |
| ...after looking at this picture I'm sure of
it! Our entertainment (arranged by Banquet Chair Joyce Kuntz) came in the
form of this Hawaiian dancer. And what a form! In this shot Kevin Akin
(left) and Mike Stanley (right) do the chugga-chugga boom-boom. The dancer
was able to get a dozen or so of us up and grinding for the hooting howls of
the group. What a scream! |
