Hello Friends!
I know it has been awhile but I am fine. I have been getting caught up on many projects that tend to be neglected when serving in the high energy position on the Board.
I want you all to know that my intimate involvement in the ANA is still alive and well. I so look forward to teaching the grading class in Portland with my good friend and staffer Rod Gillis and so look forward to seeing so many of you there as well.
I also so look forward to this year's Summer Seminar at HQ on Colorado College Campus this summer. That is always my two favorite weeks of the year! For those of you who know about Jack Jackson, you might be interested in knowing that we currently plan on presenting "Jack Jackson - The Play" at one of the Bull Sessions. My good friend Rick Snow has already volunteered to play a role and I need more volunteers. Many of you can play the role without any practice!
On a more serious note, the ANA Board of Governors Candidates Forum will be held at the National Money Show in Portland the end of the first week of March. I encourage you all to attend. There should be some interesting statements made. No, I am not running but the elections are as important as ever. Early on it appears to be, do you want collectors or dealers to lead the organization? I know what I want to see this time and right now I am very concerned for the ANA. Strong members who believe you can get elected, please give it a "run."
See you all in Portland and at HQ in June!
Mike

Mike it is more than just smile worthy to have seen you last summer without that walker. I am so glad the surgery went well. I know now what you are going through my wife just had knee replacement surgery and is in her third week of ReHab. The things that I see and do make me appreciate more what you have gone through. Keep up the great work. God bless!

Thank you! Had prostrate surgery 3 weeks ago! Still, so much easier than those hips! And lower back surgery is coming when I tire of the epidurals! Still, all those things are okay for now. Thank you so much for the "God Bless!" And may you be as well!
