of admiration I have for you and the many things you do with and for your family, and those things you do for the Club, but targeting under 18 gives me pause, UNLESS the minor is a family member of a current Club Member. And in those instances we already have a Jr. Program in effect, but we call it Associate Membership.

While I recognize that as collectors we are not "guilty by association" with the many obvious negative aspects of the source of our collections, I think it would be in a double battle to win minor members and convince their parents that it's OK.

Sorry, but I think adult supervision is a value to be incorporated into the social activities of minors, just as I'm sure you do in your own home.

Now, if you envision a "Jr. Program" to encourage and foster collecting to the minors of our Club members, then I can see merit in that.

Respectfully,

Jim
