NUMISMATIC NEWS CLOSES IOLA BUILDING

Today, we close the Numismatic News office in Iola, Wis.

We open our new office in Stevens Point on Monday.

For readers, it is supposed to be a seamless process.

You shouldn’t notice. But I do.

How can I help it after all these years here?

Chet Krause founded the paper in Iola in 1952.

The date of the first issue is Oct. 13.

I subscribed in 1969. I joined the staff in 1978.

I will continue to live in Iola, so my ties to the community will remain as strong as ever.

I will continue to work in numismatics, so my ties to this community will also remain strong.

I will put this assortment of things into a paper sack, turn off the computer, and call it a day.

Then I will exit the building that Chet Krause built in 1975 to end my last workday at this location.

It’s been an incredible run.
