<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BuffaloHunter, post: 6874046, member: 5821&quot;]Twenty plus years ago, I had thoroughly enjoyed reading the published pieces / opinions of one Helen Wallace in Numismatic News.&nbsp; She was the proprietor of R.E. Wallace Stamps and Coins in Fort Worth, TX.&nbsp; I liked her no BS, down to earth, gruff nature that came through in her writing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I forget what year it was, I had to travel to Fort Worth for business and I made it a point to go to her shop.&nbsp; She came up front when I walked in and, true to the woman I was used to reading, she asked me gruffly what I was after.&nbsp; I told her that I enjoyed reading her articles and we got to talking.&nbsp; I know I was there for over two hours that day.&nbsp; She made fun of my Minnesota accent and used that as my name in our lengthy conversation.&nbsp; I will never forget that day and still have a nice MS buffalo nickel that I purchased from her as remembrance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a link to an article that Dave Harper wrote shortly after her passing in 2008:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.numismaticnews.net/archive/one-of-a-kind-coin-dealer-dies" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.numismaticnews.net/archive/one-of-a-kind-coin-dealer-dies" rel="nofollow">https://www.numismaticnews.net/archive/one-of-a-kind-coin-dealer-dies</a></p><p><br /></p><p>RIP, Helen, from your friend &quot;Minnesota&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
