GSNA - Key Persons
Charles E. Fifield is credited with planting the seeds for the founding of the GSNA. He was the first president of the Ocean County Coin Club. But he moved to Alaska before he could see his vision come to fruition. Charles N. Morrison, his successor as president of the Ocean County Club, along with William H. Horton, were the two that set the wheels in motion. They were joined by Ed Reiter, then a columnist for the Asbury Park Press, and worked toward the creation of the GSNA. The first president of the GSNA was William Horton of Cliffwood, then president of the Monmouth Coin Club.
