Hmmm....you must be older than I thought! [;)]

Mike, it was about 1967 or 1968 when I bought that lifetime subscription. Definitely no regrets.

I'm curious: can you state just how many of us there are left?

As for your fears, I hope I'm still enjoying my subscription after you retire (I'm 54...think about it).

I'd leave it to my little sister in my will, if I could!

That would have been late-1960s/early-70s, yes? I'm always amazed by the number of life subscriptions we're still honoring. While the number has dwindled somewhat in the 15 years I've been here, I can't escape the nagging feeling that many of the people who still get them are aging well up into their 120s. Carl excepted, of course.
Thank you for reading Trains magazine! click here if you dare

Love diamonds - but only so many fingers. Would rather have all my aquaintances on the forum. They are really more fun! However, I do have two fingers still open - remember no opposable thumbs to worry about. So if you have some diamonds just lying around...... [8D]
