Very early in my dealing with Mel, I was in the US Army and president of the Heidelberg German-American Coin Club and organizing its shows. I had several prominent European dealers show up but no Americans. I learned Mel was going to be in London before or after our show and requested he set up at a free table for I would save for him. He was worried that he would not profit enough from the show but he came and sold a large amount of paper money. He was very happily surprised and the club became much more known to the world because of him. Mel came when many other American dealers did not come to our shows.

After almost 17 years I still can't bring my self to delete our correspondence. We were friends and colleagues in banknote business. I miss Mel a lot and think of him very often.

I had been thinking about the professor at Antioch who created the wonderful "Real Good Food Co-op". This was my first participation in a food co-op and it enriched my life forever after. I had searched the web more than once in the past year, hoping to find the Dr. Steinberg associated with this, but I could not remember his name. Tonight, "Mel" popped into my head. I do think this may be him, for he was a man rich in goodness and generosity.
I remember his young son had gone over the handlebars on his bike and Dr. Steinberg wasted no time in taking him by plane that night to Calif. for help in saving his life by his brother from what turned out to be a ruptured pancreas.
If this is not that same Dr. Steinberg, please forgive my intrusion into your guestbook. If this is, please accept my sincere thanks and appreciation on behalf of all Antioch students whose lives he touched to such great benefit.

Dear Jeremy,
My interactions with Mel were limited to a few phonecalls and emails.
Please accept my condolences and may god rest his soul in peace.

It makes me very sad to have read about the passing of Mel. His kindness and energy were wonderful to experience. I always enjoyed it when he was at a show and how he could involve your interest through his quiet enthusiasm. I guess one way to say it is that he had true style.

I am truly saddened to hear about Mel. I always enjoyed visiting him at the shows I attended. Part of him will live on in the items he helped me acquire for my research and collections.

It will not be the same without Mel to talk with at numismatic shows around the world. I will be missing him. But he has left a good son behind by the name of Jeremy, and many other family members who loved him. Have a good trip to the "other" side as we used to say during my war.

My sincerest condolences to Jeremy, Gail and all other family members. I owe Mel a great deal for enriching my paper money collection but even more for enriching my life through our common interests in sports, politics, and mathematics. Mel was a great businessman but an even greater person. I will miss him dearly.
