This series of limited-edition medals was the brainchild of the late Philip Flanagan. The Club was founded in 1996 by Wayne Anderson (1941-99) and a steering group which included Joel Spingarn, Bill McKivor (member no. 3), Jerry and Sharon Bobbe, Allan Davisson and Robinson S. Brown Jr; at the time of its first newsletter (now journal) in August 1996 it could boast 89 members. The first medal was issued in March 1999 and the last, for the Club’s 10th anniversary, in November 2006. Various edition sizes have been reported; some of the silver issues were struck in very limited quantities and the late owner’s envelope states that only 25 medals bearing the incorrect year of Wayne Anderson’s death were made, contrary to the edge inscription
