Kirby,
I assume that you are no longer the keeper of the Awards dies for making new medals at ADS National. I was wondering if ADS is getting close to the end of the 20 medals for the Marie Bozievich award that I donated years ago. If so, I want to donate another 20 when these run out. The Bozievich ribbon winner in your email below prompted me to think about it.
