Jim Payne Memorial Service Award
|
In Memoriam: Jim Payne, 1926-2005 |
 We
are saddened to report that a good friend passed away on September 22,
2005. Jim
Payne was perhaps the most influential and respected member of the Boeing
Employees Coin Club (BECC). He served the club in many capacities over
approximately a 35-year time period. In recent years he was best known as
the largest dealer in BECC medals, although he also supplied many other
numismatic items to the club and its members. Jim was also the recipient
of the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association's
Bob Everett Memorial Award.
Jim will be greatly missed, and his shoes will be hard to fill, as they
say. The club has established its own memorial award in his honor (the
first winner, Del Cushing, was announced in December 2005). |
Award winners:
The award winner
