Kenneth
L. Edlow has been a member of the American Numismatic Society
for 32 years. He joined the Council in 1993 and has been the Treasurer
of the ANS since 2000. Born in Washington D.C. in 1941, Kenneth
Edlow, comes from a very numismatic family. His father, Ellis
Edlow, served as General Counsel to the American Numismatic Association.
His mother is a coin collector, his brother Don and his son Brian
are also collectors and members of the ANS. Kenneth Edlow's own
numismatic interests evolve around US coins.
Kenneth Edlow graduated from the Wharton School of the University
of Pennsylvania in 1963. After moving to New York City he joined
Bear Stearns & Co. in 1969, where he became Corporate Secretary
in 1987, a position he still holds. He is married and has two
children.
Kenneth Edlow has been one of the most active supporters to the
American Numismatic Society. When Donald Partrick and the Council
pushed for a move of the Society, Edlow was a key figure in helping
with the purchase of the new building at 140 William Street. He
has helped to shape and renew the American Numismatic Society,
and under his leadership as Treasurer, the financial situtation
of the Society has become progressively healthier.
The medal of Kenneth Edlow, depicted below was a present
of his wife Mary in celebration of his 60th birthday. Jeanne Stevens-Sollman,
1999 ANS Saltus Award Winner, created this extraordinary piece
cast in sintered bronze. It was originally produced in an edition
of eight pieces that was followed by the production of eight additional
pieces of a smaller version.
