Once again, the exhibits at this
year’s PNNA convention in Tukwila were of excellent quality, but not very many were entered.
Exhibitors at ANA work very hard for many weeks and months to construct their displays and
are very excited about the competition. What is lacking at PNNA that more collectors don’t
enter exhibits? Perhaps it is because we are drawing from a smaller membership base than
ANA. This exhibit chairman has done several things over the years to stimulate exhibiting
without any great results. It would be a shame to discontinue exhibiting at PNNA; it is
part of the convention experience. If you have any suggestions on how to improve competitive
exhibiting, write to PNNA president Lisa Loos and offer your suggestions to her. I have
served as your Exhibit Chairman for many years now, and it has been my pleasure to work with
all who have exhibited. This is my final year that I volunteer for any numismatic
committee. The time comes when you must pass on the duties to younger people. I have served
in many capacities and enjoyed every bit of it.
See above for the results of this
year’s competitive displays. It should be noted that although there were no 2nd or 3rd place
awards, the 1st place winners had to score a minimum average of 75 points by the judges to
qualify for 1st place. There was also a non-competitive exhibit displayed: J. Eric Holcomb,
Apollo 13 40th Anniversary. {Eric is the Chief Judge and is unable to exhibit
competitively.}
Congratulations to all
winners. They will receive award plaques for their entries. I wish to thank Tom Sheehan and
Del Cushing for volunteering to serve as judges, and also Eric Holcomb for serving as Chief
Judge. Their work is very much appreciated.
