You can still see the article and photos on the WayBack machine archive. Dave.
Hi John,
Looking forward to this years convention. One quick question please. Earlier I believe the 2012 convention landing page had a tentative daily schedule. In checking the site today, that is no longer there? I am just trying to book my travel, not sure I can arrive on the 15th it may be the 16th. Trying to see what is at risk.Thanks in advance,
DaveHi Chris,
Fascinating workmanship on that set, thanks for showing the image.I am unfamiliar with the miniature Waterloo dies but you may have seen that in Morton & Eden’s recent auction (June 10th), they had two Waterloo miniatures up. Lots 1257 and 1258.

About 3/4’s of the way through the pdf doc. Images shown.
Thought I would pass along in case you had not seen them. Hope it may help.

Hello,
My name is David Bondi and I’ve been a member of OMSA and OMRS for a few years now. I enjoyed meeting several folks at the last OMSA convention in Portland which is near to where I live in Seattle, Washington. I started collecting medals roughly 30 years ago, as a young guy. My Grandfather fought in WWI (British ASC) and my Great Uncle, in WWII (British RA). I’m very proud to care for their medals now. My primary interest is the Naval General Service Medal 1793-1840. That Age of Sail to me is just amazing, the characters, the ships, the battles, the fleet actions, the cutting outs, the subterfuge, chaos and rewards. It just never grows old on me. So much still to learn. I will say my collecting the last few years has taken a little bit of a side note with the addition of two beautiful daughters, a 3yr old and a bouncing 10mo old. My hope is as they get older they may take to their dad’s appreciation of these "tiny bits of shiny metal with pretty ribbons"
It is nice to see the new site up and running. Lots of improvements with continued improvements I am sure. With such a large membership here in the states, I hope that each member will begin to frequent and contribute what they can on a regular basis. The more shared the more learnt. I look forward to learning more!
Kind Regards,
DaveOMSA #7883, OMRS #7045
