Wednesday afternoon's TAMS
regular membership meeting featured
Greg Bennick's fascinating presentation on counterstamped coins. He
held the crowd's attention with lots
of examples and the unique stories
that they hold. Upon wrapping-up, the
attendees had plenty of questions, and
I'm guessing Greg baptized some new
converts to that segment of our hobby.
Good job, Greg! Look for his column
"Counterstamp Corner" in each issue
of the journal.
Before dispersing, the crowd was
treated to a unique (and whimsical)
musical performance by Bob Evans
and Fred Holabird. Who knew that
these two are musically gifted as well?
Good stuff, fella's!
Wednesday evening saw us all
gather at the Cattlemen's Steakhouse
for the annual TAMS Banquet. Once
again, Donna Moon orchestrated a
wonderful night of fellowship, recognition, fund raising ($2,500+), and
some seriously frivolous fun!
The Dave and Fred Show (Schenkman & Holabird) kept the festivities
rolling with lighthearted laughter, and
many generous donations were bid
on and won by attendees! Yours truly
even bought a TAMS beret….you
know, for those chilly Ohio winters!
LOL!
I felt compelled to recognize several members this time around with
the President's Award. Each recipient
has provided me with exceptional support and advice over the past year.
Congratulations to Larry Baber, Kathy
Freeland, Rick Gaetano, and Donna
Moon!
