4th Best O North East (1997 Reprint) By Steve Danielius Keene New Hampshire is about as much New England as Brooklyn is to New York, but much, much prettier. George Streeter couldn't have picked a nicer weekend for this event. We left for Keene Friday night right after the meeting. Saturday the 26th of April 1997 was the first day of B.O.N.E. 4, the BEST OF North East, and we were happy to be there again for our third year in a row. Other Colonial treasure Hunters attending were Dana Berkeley, Tom Guinta, Paul Riessle, his lovely wife Susan, and Dave Turri and his lovely wife Brenda. Scott Ferguson and his family also stopped by to say hello.
