A NOTE FROM MIKE ELLIS 

   "To All NBS Members and interested parties,  I want to thank 
   NBS for bestowing upon me the honor of speaking at your 
   recent meeting held at the annual FUN Show in Orlando, FL. 
   I did so at the invitation of my good friend Col. Bill Murray, 
   who needs no introduction from me!  The talk,  "The 
   Proliferation of Error and Variety Books in the Hobby Over 
   the Past Ten Years", was, in my humble opinion, a very 
   significant one and one which I have wanted to present for 
   some time.  I thank you for the opportunity! 

   Though the meeting would probably have been better attended 
   at an ANA Annual Convention, those persons who did attend 
   were all impressive contributors to the numismatic community! 
   I consider my talk a great success more so because of the 
   preliminary research of Bill Murray who presented his findings 
   prior to my speaking and for the superb contributions from 
   Mark Borckardt, Senior Numismatist of Bowers and Merena 
   Galleries.  Mark, as you no doubt know, has made and is 
   making his own very significant contributions to the hobby. 
   Additionally, others in the room asked solid questions. 
   contributing to the overall effectiveness of my talk.  I thank 
   all of them as well.  I was so humbled by the experience that I 
   would like to do it again sometime when I can be even better 
   prepared! 

   Again, thank you for the opportunity and for the fond memory 
   of it being a very pleasant experience. 

   Sincerely, Mike Ellis, Past President of CONECA, Editor of 
   Errorscope and Editor of The Cherrypickers' Guide to Rare 
   Die Varieties, Fourth Edition, Volume I."
