In the end, grace and gratitude were the end notes struck by the outgoing American Numismatic Association board of governors as it met in the days just prior to the Aug. 8 opening of the organization’s World’s Fair of Money in Milwaukee, Wis.

During two days of meetings, the board deferred action on the controversial proposal to amend the bylaws. This occurred following a brief discussion during the board’s Aug. 7 morning session.

The bylaws topic opened with the spirited objections of ANA treasurer Adna G. Wilde Jr. He is also parliamentarian. He cited both the current bylaws and the federal charter of the ANA as basis for his recommendation to the board not to vote on the bylaws at this time.
