The power of the internet to bring people together is one of the many benefits resulting from our web site and mailing list. The internet has helped us reach many new and former members in recent weeks.

We are very glad to welcome NBS charter member Cal Wilson to the mailing list. An early and active member in the society, Cal dealt in numismatic literature, held several literature sales and published "Wilson's Numismatic Repository", an important source of information on American numismatic literature.

In addition to Cal, we have John Adams on board now, too. A longtime numismatic bibliophile, in 1982 he authored the two-volume work "United States Numismatic Literature", covering the subject of early auction catalogs and cataloguers.
