In the mail today, from the American Philatelic Society, came a special certificate and pin attesting to twenty-five year membership!

It seemed like yesterday...

Congrats!

I always thought you were older?

What does age have to do with it?

maybe he joined after he retired. there is no age limit for joining any club that I know of. I did not join the legion until I was 40ish while other I know joined un their 20's

congrats by the way--being a member of any club for that long is a honour

I was joking with Pierre. Hopefully he got it. It went right over your head.

[stevephinn2012]

no you were not but keep those wheels on the bus turning!

Actually, I was quite (relatively) young when I joined the APS.

The average age of members is 67. That number has been more or less contant for decades.

Back when I was a teen and into my 20's, I was an avid stamp collector (my doctor gave me stamps when I was only five).

I used to go to some of the exhibitions and drool over the stuff I would never own. 

I was asked to join several groups but didn't because of the ages of the other members.  I just didn't think I would fit in with all those "seniors".  Next year, I will be 67 - now I guess I would fit in.
