The E-Sylum:  Volume 10, Number 46, November 11, 2007, Article 11

HOWARD A. DANIEL III STILL NOT DEAD YET

Pete Smith writes: "I got up about 3:00am Monday morning
to read the latest E-Sylum.  I am frequently awake around
this time and occasionally get up to do something on the
computer. Then today I received the November Numismatist
with the memoriam notice for Howard Daniel III.

"I would have been very disturbed to learn of his death
this way and very happy that I read the E-Sylum before I
read Numismatist. It was probably not your original intent,
but the E-Sylum has become a great way to keep us informed
about our friends in the hobby when they are threatened
by fires or premature death notifications.  I hope the
ANA will continue to allow Howard to have his table at
ANA conventions."

Regarding Joe Boling's note that reports of the demise
of Howard A. Daniel III were greatly exaggerated, Doug
Andrews writes: "Now that Joe Boling's words have given
Howard Daniel a measure of immortality, he will have plenty
of time for his numismatic writing to emulate the lofty
literary legacy of Mark Twain."

[During my last week in London I saw a production of
Monty Python's Spamalot, the musical based on the Monty
Python and the Holy Grail film.  There's a classic number
where morgue workers are collecting bodies of the dead,
but one "corpse" turns out to not be quite yet dead.

 I am not dead yet
 No need to go to bed
 No need to call the doctor
 Cause I'm not yet dead.

 BODIES:
 He is not yet dead
 That's what the geezer said
 No, he's not yet dead
 That man is off his head

 He is not yet dead
 So put him back in bed
 Keep him off the cart because he's not yet dead.
