“My friend did not appear to be depressed by his failure, but shrugged his shoulders in half-humorous resignation.” – The Adventure of the Three Students (3STU) We are currently having some technical difficulties in having new posts published on this website, so this week’s update is slim. We utilize the WordPress platform for the technical aspects… Continue Reading
Once again, I have been negligent in thanking some of our friends for their help and support to our organization. I like to take a few minutes and correct this oversight. The 13th Garrideb, Peter E. Blau, printed some very nice comments about our society in the January issue of Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press. In the… Continue Reading
“There is more in this than meets the eye.” – The Adventure of The Second Stain (SECO) Recently, we have introduced our Meet The Garridebs feature where we highlight you, our members.

Being primarily a “virtual” society and with our membership spread over great distances, the opportunity to meet one another is fairly limited. Hopefully, this feature will allow us to learn more about each other. Reviewing our membership rolls,… Continue Reading
The Fourth Garrideb has created a page on Facebook to help get the word out about us to other Sherlockians and coin collectors. Yours truly has a “love – hate” relationship with Facebook. Some of you are not on Facebook and that’s fine. Others of you are quite active on Facebook, and if you could… Continue Reading
It’s time for us to again thank a few people for their assistance in getting the word out about us.

Check out the issue here.… Continue Reading

Wayne Homren, editor of The E-Sylum for the Numismatic Bibliomania Society, was kind enough to publish my initial announcement of seeing if there was any interest… Continue Reading
