I wonder who is our oldest and youngest members?
I know that, for a while, Richaard was our oldest member, I believe...(still remember him fondly)
But since his passing from us, I wonder if there is someone comparable to his age?
As I said, just wonderin'.....

Years back I reminded a disputing pair that it really didn't matter did it-their feet go down just as far as the other guy does.
Silly how odd thoughts creep in!!

Mind you among the members of the British based Thailand Philatelic Society who live in Thailand at our lunches I am one of the youngest.

Another odd thought-by engaging in interesting activities (sports,hobbies,passions of all sorts,etc.) by definition you are interesting/younger/vibrant. I would submit that SOR is keeping our members younger than their years, and engaged and focused in a hobby that knows no limits. I've been an active collector for over 80+ years and continue to be amazed at the new realms it exposes me to. Just saying!!
Best,

The other day he found $1000 that he had stashed.
Wow!
Now that's a good find!
I'm not quite there yet... maybe someday!
I still (FOR SURE!) remember where I put a $1000, LOL!

Dani, its something to do..very grateful for stamps and the internet and places like this to check in on. Todays problem is i was holding a stamp in my hand last night by the dining room table and it vanished off the face of the earth..i mean it was not a minimum value stamp it cataloged $3.75..i will probably tear the place apart today.

My buddy, Phil B. from New York State is over eighty.... but he acts like he's still 35! He's a lot of fun at stamp shows, and a great mentor. I nominate Phil as the youngest member of SOR.
