Farewells
Rex Salmon
(1/24/1938-12/27/2019) Rex L. Salmon, a retired (1992) San Diego Tribune journalist, was born in Harvard, NE, the second of eight children, and helped on the family farm where he developed a skill for mimicking the noises and calls of various animals (birds, livestock, etc.). Graduating in journalism from San Diego State after a stint in the marines, he spent his working years in that field until retiring. Married to wife Lynn, they lived in the San Diego area. Rex joined NASC in 2004, having been active in numismatics since at least the mid-1960’s, and edited the Bulletin for the San Diego Numismatic Society with skills honed and very familiar to him until circa 2005 or so.
Bill Pearson
(1/21/2020) Bill Pearson, member, board member, and corresponding secretary of Hemet Numismatists, has passed away. He was a very active and well liked club member, and also very active with the local Hemet Boy Scouts Troop. He will be sorely missed by us all. Memorial service details will be announced when received.
