Editorial
========================================
We supported the election of Joe Boling and
Wendel Wolka to the ANA board of governors. I
admit to being pleased at several levels to
their election. However, this should be a
fleeting feeling. Joe and Wendell will now be
responsible for decisions rather than simply
second guessing. We have seen very capable
numismatists fail in this leadership role. We
have great confidence in the decision making and
leadership abilities of both of these Festers.
Nonetheless, we will watch and as appropriate
report here.
