In Memorium

"Rollie Finner, longtime Editor of the Centinel, former Governor and the voice of Central States at several
convention message centers, passed away on September 18 at the Iola Living Assistance, Iola, Wisconsin. Rollie
is survived by our President, Patti (Jagger) Finner. The family requests that memorials be given to the Iola
Living Assistance, 186 Chet Krause Drive, Iola, WI 54945. Rollie was the complete collector and numismatist
whose knowledge of our great hobby was well-known. Rollie was a "go-to-guy" when answers were needed for
numismatic questions. His sense of humor, enthusiasm and sincerity will be greatly missed. "
