Walter,
I'm 58 and over the last couple of years,
I've noticed that most members have at one time or another revealed
their ages.
I would estimate that the average age is between 55 and 65 years.
Mind, you, I,m amazed at how much older than myself, some of these
fine members are.
I guess we are really suckers for punishment. :>)
