<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eric Babula, post: 26149163, member: 85976&quot;]I&#039;m hoping to have similar experiences to yours!</p><p><br /></p><p>I attended the third club meeting last night. It was larger, with a somewhat younger crowd. Good to see younger people attending, for the future of the hobby. Also, there were three people there who I met at the other two clubs! Actually, one was the President of this club.</p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoyed this one. They had the usual business reports, giveaways, and a one-coin auction. But, this one also had a presentation by Mark Ferguson about Augustus Saint-Gaudens and the process of creating the General William Tecumseh Sherman memorial in New York. It also included some history of his life, and one of his modelers: Helen Farnsworth Mears. Mr. Ferguson wrote about it, here: <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/news/it-took-a-team-of-sculptors-to-produce-the-saint" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/news/it-took-a-team-of-sculptors-to-produce-the-saint" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/news/it-took-a-team-of-sculptors-to-produce-the-saint</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There were a number of people selling and buying others&#039; coins. There was even a kid selling some of his coins. Pretty cool to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>On top of that, in June, the ANA President, Tom Uram, will visit and give a presentation! Pretty cool!</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I may have found the right one for me. I hope to make some friends there, and learn from some, and share any knowledge I might have! And, I hear ya about the wife being delighted to get rid of me for a while! LOL![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
