Some of the MPC stolen from Ken Barr after the Memphis paper money show has been recovered! Details cannot be released at the moment, but the Gram and Gramsters aided in the recovery! Collectors should visit Ken's site (www.kenbarr.com) for additional information on the stolen material, and watch the Gram for more information on the recovery. It Is in the Book! by Fred Schwan Many of you have had me tell you in response to a question "it is in the book." This is my favorite answer. Occasionally, someone gets to give me the same answer. Now we have a real twist on this. At the summer seminar, I corrected Joe Boling in class and used the book (in this case the MPC book) to support my position. He had stated that on occasion MPC was withdrawn on different days in Europe and Asia and I "corrected" him as stated above. Well, today in working on the new MPC book, I found the conversion dates for all series listed in the Army regulation and Series 591 is listed for 6 and 13 January 1964 for Pacific and European Theaters respectively! Wow, I was surprised to find it "in the book." We did not have it that way in the third edition or in WWII Remembered. However, I looked in the first edition MPC book and found that the two dates WERE listed! Well, shame on me! We will of course update this now. Sorry, Joe. =============================================== Editorial ----------------------------------------------- Of course it is good (wonderful) news that at least some of Ken Barr's MPC that was stolen has been recovered. It is spectacular news that the Gram and Gramsters played a role in the recovery! This gets to the heart of the often sited "community" aspect of our hobby! Well done, bravo! ============================================== Mail Call ----------------------------------------------- Dear Gram, Sounds like the seminar was a wonderful success. I hope that word will spread.
