Prove it. Show us the "official listing" or whatever the
heck ANA does. If you can, that will only reinforce the obvious.
That ANA that you all hold so dear to your hearts will
do anything for your subscription fees.

I'm sure that publication of this membership took place in
"The Numismatist" later in 2001, but I don't have those back
issues in my numislit warehouse at present ...

For the record, I attended the 2001 meeting in Atlanta.
I believe that there were about a half duzzen attendees
(most of whom actually posted on r.c.c at the time, with
one or two others wandering in wondering whatinthehell the
"RCC Internet Users Group" wuz ...).

I believe that Gary renewed the membership for 2002 and had
a meeting at the New York convention, but I did not attend
that show. I suspect that membership was not renewed in 2003.
