Survey: Your age please (38)

Mike Schwing from Md.

>I was very surprised to see the average age of the AAW member was a good 20 years more, umm...wise than me. (current issue)

At 38, I'd guessed I was a bit on the young side of this hobby, but if you don't mind fessing up, exactly how old are you guys and gals?

>39 with 17 years experience. That's 56 for you that have trouble with math. I think I heard a few years ago that the aveage age of an AAW member was 65. Up until a few years ago I was the youngest in our club. I've noticed a lot more people Mike's age coming into the club in the last few years. Now if we could just get women and minorities in the groups.

>Holding meetings at a school helps to bring younger folks in.

We have alot of women in our club and the classes we`re teaching at Roundtop are a 50/50 mix of male and female.

Looks like the times may be changing John.
