Title: Goodbye my friends
Post by: regandon on May 18, 2011, 10:21:38 PM
I have had a good time here on this forum, My time has come. Live life to it fullest. I did own some very rare pieces, and had a lot of fun studying the history of 16th to 18th century European coinage.

Wow Don, I wasn't aware you were ill. I'm so sorry about your health, and that it's forcing you to leave the circle, but your health comes first. You always brought great and interesting specimens to the party, and we all appreciate it. Your knowledge for the field is invaluable and will be sorely missed. Please promise to come back when you're feeling better, or at least let us know how you are doing. Hang in there, because we are all pulling for you. Take care and best regards.
