Summer Seminar can be a life-changing experi-ence; I know, because it happened to me. I gradu-ated from the University of Colorado in 1984 with adegree in economics and plans to go into banking orthe stock brokerage business.

At the time, however, the Colorado Springs economy was in shambles following a national savings and loan crisis, and the city had earned theunfortunate reputation as the nation’s foreclosurecapital. With few job opportunities on the horizon, Iwent to work in my father’s coin shop—a temporarysix-month job.

Those six months are now going on 28 yearsthanks, in large part, to Summer Seminar. By 1986 I

began to realize that my temporary job was turning into a career. I had a lot to learnand, with the encouragement of my father, enrolled in a Summer Seminar gradingclass. It was eye-opening.

To this day, I have vivid memories of Bill Fivaz passing around his sets of mercurydimes and buffalo nickels, all neatly organized in Capital plastic folders. I rememberseveral bigger-than-life instructors: J.P. Martin, Rick Montgomery, Leonard Albrecht and Michael Fahey, to name a few. Most importantly, I remember returning to mydad’s shop armed with all of this new knowledge and a strong desire to apply what I learned.

Summer Seminar gave me the numismatic bug and I’ve never turned back. TodayI own my father’s business and serve as president of the ANA. Summer Seminar became part of my annual life cycle; I attended as a student for several years before,beginning in the mid-1990s, becoming a grading instructor. I’ll teach grading againthis year and hope to do so for many more years to come. Each year, whether as astudent or an instructor, I learn lessons that I can apply to my business and my hobbynearly every day.

As a student, you can expect great instructors, enormous enthusiasm, loads of fun and a genuinely rewarding experience. If you’re like the vast majority of SummerSeminar students, you’ll come back again—and again—and maybe, eventually, as an instructor.

After 44 years, Summer Seminar has become that rare event that both stays thesame and changes, simultaneously. Each year there’s an infusion of new students, instructors and classes—all balanced by the return of old students, familiar classesand experienced instructors.

This year is no different. Our most popular classes, grading and counterfeit detection, return for an encore along with other popular standbys including courseson ancients, paper money and world currency.

This year, you’ll have a chance to take “Think Like a Thief: Security for Dealers andCollectors,” taught by Col. Steve Ellsworth. Prue Fitts will teach a fascinating class on“Women in Power and Other Feisty Females on Coinage and in Art” for the first timein several years. Our class, “Modern Minting Process: Errors and Varieties,” will featurea chance to mint a coin on a Grabener coin press.

Session 2 features a new class on “The Coinage of Charles Barber” and an oldstandby with a new twist: “Creating a Winning Numismatic Exhibit.” For papermoney aficionados with a fondness for storytelling, you’ll be hard-pressed to pass up“National Bank Notes: Bringing History to Life.”

Nothing enhances the enjoyment of our hobby more than education; it’s whySummer Seminar is so special.

I hope to see you there.Questions? Call 719-482-9850
