He's too young to be that old! (G)

Or you're too young for him to be that old! ;)

That's more like it.

I know the feeling well... (G)

I think most all of us on the ehco are of the same feeling.

At least those of us that aren't youngsters anymore... ;)

I wonder who the oldest and youngest participants in the echo are these
days. Burt Ford would get the claim to oldest if he were still posting. Otherwise, it might be me (turned 79 this month). Who would be the
youngest? I don't know how old Sean, Shawn or Mark are, but would guess
one of them might claim that title.

Possibly Ed Vance or Bill Swisher...? I'm pretty sure they both are
older than I, possibly into 80's.... if not one of them, then it would
be you... I'm one of the older ones in the "mid-sector", having turned
70 early this year... ;)

Who would be the youngest? I don't know how old Sean, Shawn or Mark
are, but would guess one of them might claim that title.

My guess is either Sean or Shawn... ;) They're about of an age.... and
IIRC, about the age of my kid... There've been some once in a while
posters that might be younger, but no one recently that I remember... :)

I'd been out of the Navy for 3 years at that point.
I heard a comedy sketch, on KPIG, where the guy said he was going to run for public office. Then the media would tell him what he did in the 70's. I nodded to myself and said "No...kidding", or words to that effect.

I've been in Fido that long, easily... but I got my start in GENEALOGY
and the related areas... then was pulled into MEMORIES by the then
moderator... It's all xxCarol's fault I found COOKING... she talked up
the 2008 picnic at Janis's in the MEMORIES echo, and then said if anyone
was interested in going to the picnic, they needed to join the echo
first.... so I did... and the rest is history... ;)
