<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 926871, member: 15199&quot;]I used to be a member of ANA many years ago, and let it lapse as I considered the Library as the best part of the deal, and other interests ( mainly a young son at the time) became more important. When I re-started interest after retirement in 2004, I thought the internet based information was better.&nbsp; But when I joined the local coin club almost 3 years ago, it was ANA affiliated and there seemed to be extra Numismatist&nbsp; issues I would take to read as almost everyone else had their own. Eventually I noticed that newer members were coming into the club, and that the articles were better than I remembered, so I called them up to see if I could get my old number back if I rejoined.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well yes, said the nice Chris, but we will have to get it out of the archives, so we will call back.&nbsp; Got the call that they found me, and I could rejoin, but if I wanted it to say member since I first joined, I would have to pay back dues, which would take a while to look up the dues for each year and add up......I declined.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, how about Life membership.....well looking at it I would have to live to 91 to break even at current fees, so I declined. I decided to take a 2 year option, as I wanted her to know I wasn&#039;t a flash in the pan.</p><p><br /></p><p>The she said &quot;say , do you know Doug,? He is so old, that we have to pay him each year!&quot;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well all except the last is true&nbsp; &nbsp; :smile</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim&nbsp; #&nbsp; 1137202[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
