<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 4561725, member: 84744&quot;]What&#039;s up with that counting dude?&nbsp; &quot;1, B, C, 4, 6, seven&quot;? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Is it a Monty Python and the Holy Grail kinda thing?</p><p><br /></p><p>1 &amp; B) Just a fluke, really.&nbsp; I first met him via AMCC (I totally went <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> when he signed up).&nbsp; He couldn&#039;t find a coin I shipped to him and we corresponded about it.&nbsp; (Turns out he had mislaid it; he was super apologetic and nice about it.)&nbsp; In the course of our correspondence I confessed I was a fanboy.&nbsp; I have connections with the local university and asked offhand if he might like to visit; turns out he and his wife had been wanting to visit BC and were desperate to get out of New Orleans during Mardi Gras.&nbsp; That freaked me out a bit (I had been thinking, y&#039;know, sometime in the next decade), but it also thrilled me.&nbsp; So I made calls, turned on my disused charm circuits... and miraculously enough it happened! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>C) Too numerous to mention.&nbsp; Among them: his travels in Turkey, the delightful story of his recent marriage to a Turkish woman (who is wonderful!) after having been a bachelor most of his life, dealing with University admin, attitudes towards collectors in academia and museums, his father, the coins of Moesia Inferior and Thrace (he&#039;s doing a die study; turns out most of it comes from just a few mints.&nbsp; This discussion prompted me to buy a Philip from the area - the last productions before incursions by the Goths closed the mints); the coins of Tabaristan; some Roman history, some Byzantine history, and various things I&#039;m not allowed to mention on CoinTalk. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>4) Well, coins of course.&nbsp; Also those things I&#039;m not allowed to mention on CoinTalk. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Q) Haha!&nbsp; No, but I must say he does sound remarkably like he does in his lectures.&nbsp; You know how he starts in a measured fashion and then gradually gets more and more excited!?&nbsp; I love that.&nbsp; It&#039;s totally him, let me tell you!</p><p><br /></p><p>6) Well, he wasn&#039;t drinking much, for health reasons.&nbsp; But I was drinking wine from our <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2016/oct/02/okanagan-canada-wine-british-columbia-vineyard-lake" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2016/oct/02/okanagan-canada-wine-british-columbia-vineyard-lake" rel="nofollow">lovely</a> <a href="https://winefolly.com/lifestyle/okanagan-wine-country-guide/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://winefolly.com/lifestyle/okanagan-wine-country-guide/" rel="nofollow">Okanagan Valley</a>.&nbsp; Coin buddies are more than welcome to visit!</p><p><br /></p><p>Seven) I will ask him, that&#039;s a travesty!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Glad there&#039;s at least one other Ken Harl fanboy here. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
