passing of a close friend of Dennis Tarrant; our prayers go out to him.

New Members: Harvey Gamer, Pat Larkin and Bruce Tran

Membership Status: A total of 74 members are current for CY 2017 .

Dues need to be paid now to avoid immediate loss of privileges.

Education Program: Mike O’Brien’s talk “Winning A Gold Medal in

Swimming in 1984” was extremely interesting and different from most

of our talks. Learning about 6-8 hours of daily practice and the many

other obstacles to winning a gold medal was very enlightening. Mike

is truly a local hero, hailing from the Mesa Verde area of Costa Mesa.

Most impressive is Mike’s devotion to teaching children how to swim,

over 50,000 thus far!

Show and Tell: John M. updated his information on a slabbed,

counterfeit gold coin that was “certified “ by NGC. Since there is

considerable interest in this item, it will will be a future talk.

Donations: OC Rare Coin and Bullion (1927 Harbor Blvd. Costa

Mesa, CA 92627) continues to donate many valuable coins for our

club auctions. Please reciprocate by giving them your business.

Prize Winners: Kerry J. won the the Dos Pesos.
