I think it is outstanding for the Lifers to do this! I remember my first convention and I did not know anybody except Follis. Jim introduced me to Greg S. & Greg introduced me to Steve B. and on it went.
This will not only help the new members feel more welcome but is gives a new reason for others to become Life Members. Being a mentor is a very special part of sharing and it only takes a bit of your time to do it. My hat is OFF to our Life Members for doing this!
