Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association
Board of Directors and Membership:

Dear PNNA Board and Members:

Nancy and I just returned from the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association Convention in Tukwila, Washington.  We personally want to thank the entire Board for your great hospitality.  The ANA was given a table close to the front entrance, and we were able to sign up new members and promote our great hobby in an excellent location.  Attendance for the show appeared to be very good.

The show itself had something for everyone, including an excellent bourse, great security, nice exhibits and educational programs, free parking, and a dealer/staff hospitality room that always had something to drink or eat.  The YN table, handled by Dr. Walter Ostromecki Jr., busy all the time.  Walt did an excellent job talking to the many YN’s who stopped by.  The scavenger hunt for the YN’s was outstanding and we are sure everyone who participated had a wonderful time. 

PNNA is fortunate to have an outstanding Board of Directors and workers who will do what is necessary to have a successful coin convention.  Congratulations for a well run convention that had something for everyone.

Yours in Numismatics,

John Wilson, ANA President
Nancy Wilson, FUN Board Director
