<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 357264, member: 6986&quot;]Neil Shafer has become a good friend of mine over the last 20+ years.&nbsp; He was a mentor to me when I was first starting out in collecting while I was in college in Milwaukee.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>He put together the Midwest Chapter of the International Bank Note Society which still meets on the second Saturday of every month in Milwaukee.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a few of his books that he autographed.&nbsp; The only note that I have that he signed was a short snorter that we made up at the Midwest Chapter meeting in December 2007.&nbsp; I had everyone sign a bunch of $2.00 notes and we sent them as holiday greetings to the other IBNS Chapters around the world.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to meet him, have him paged at a show.&nbsp; I am not kidding about this.&nbsp; He attends most of the major shows (CPMX, CSNS, Memphis, St. Louis, London, Maastricht).&nbsp; He will be more than happy to meet and talk with any collector particularly young people and new collectors.&nbsp; His depth of knowledge on world paper money is astounding.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Try it at the Central States show in Chicago in a couple weeks or at ANA in Baltimore this summer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
