Charlie, I did an Advanced Search here for 'Amherst' and 'lew1' and this thread was the only one to come up... :(

You did have discourse with a WNY member named 'silverknife' and made similar comments -

I was 'postino' up until 2012, 'sheepherder' since then. I was a 'postino' for 29 years [in 'real life'] but no longer felt right keeping that username. I turned in my 'postino' personalized license plates too. ;)

enjoyed the thread.....the picture of the guys doesn't show any young collectors....any idea how many of our members are 30-40 years old ?....one issue has always been the cost of our luger habits....younger men have other pressing interests...wish we had a way to reach more of that group to carry-on this great tradition..........tom

I guess it is difficult for a younger collector to leave the family jump a plane fly 3000 miles pay for a rental, hotel and lay out more money to spend at the show, not to mention leaving the family for days while there is probobly a gunshow within a hundred miles of home She argues!!!!! I would love to meet face to face those members who have become part of my family and upon so much also redy! Eric
