You should have let us sing to you... or maybe spank you?

Shoot! I knew it! I'm the oldest...oh well, guess there is no age limit on enjoying the Lakes Region and liking to hear all the goings on.

Two very good years.......I was born the day of the unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin helped me celebrate my 25th by walking on the moon.....I am ....... OLD! I guess that makes me part of the Pepsi Generation.

I LIKE this poll, lol. I'm just to one side of smack dab in the middle of the 40-60 age group, and I'll firmly deny every word of this whenever I'm lucky enough to meet any of my fellow forum posters!

On another note, I wasn't able to make FF -- yet again -- thought I was going to, then promised my 13-yr-old to take him to Clark's for Train weekend, not realizing there was a clash of dates at the time.

I was very sorry to miss yet another one, BUT son and I had a wonderful time in Lincoln. I hope the weather in M'boro was close to as wonderful as it was in Lincoln, and it sounds like Krista did a fabulous job with the organization -- kudos to her, SteveA, rrr, and everyone who donated raffle prizes and to all who participated in the FF!

....especially when that poll button includes 40-60. I guess it's skewed a bit. Would be interesting to see a split count on that group.

1952 was a good year

I noticed the same thing at ForumFest '08, but anticipated that the number of attendees at a September Forum Fest would include retirees: the average age of members here is probably much younger. (Many at the ForumFest '08 haven't replied as yet, making this poll somewhat more "youthful".)

I'm not too far behind you, HC. I was 20 (almost 21) when Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the moon.

This is my 61st summer at the Lake. Do not remember the first few years.
Thanks to my late parents for making that decision so long ago to buy an island.
