OROSZ WINS HEATH LITERARY AWARDS 

   Congratulations to NBS Historian and board member 
   Joel Orosz, who bagged not one, but TWO Heath Literary 
   Awards!  From the press release by the American 
   Numismatic Association: 

   "The Heath Literary Award, introduced in 1949 and named 
   for George Heath, ANA founder and the first editor of The 
   Numismatist, recognizes outstanding articles published in the 
   last year in the journal. 

   The first-place Heath Literary Award went to Joel J. Orosz 
   of Kalamazoo, Michigan, for "Gilmor and the 1804 Silver 
   Dollars," published in the June 2000 issue.  For this distinction, 
   he received an engraved silver medal, certificate and $250 
   cash prize. 

   Also presented to Orosz was the second-place award - an 
   engraved, bronze medal, a certificate and a $100 cash prize - 
   for "The Curious Case of the Collectors Kline" published in 
   the October 2000 issue." 

   In response to my congratulatory message, Orosz wrote: 
   "It really came as a shock to me, since I've never even placed 
   before--and to go 1-2 really was icing.   Now that you mention 
   it, I can't recall anyone ever winning two Heaths--although it 
   could have been done before mere kids like us were on the 
   scene. 

   By the way, the E-Sylum keeps getting more spectacular -- 
   but it must be eating more of your time as a result.  Hopefully, 
   you have a little more of that now that you've passed the torch 
   on to Pete." 

   [Not really, but time flies when you're having fun.  It's always 
   a pleasure to open my mailbox and find correspondence from 
   E-Sylum subscribers.  You're the stars of the show. -Editor]
