My wife and I went to a movie and I had my Leica slung over my shoulder (on topic). The good news was that we got in for one-half price as seniors and the bad news was that we got in for one-half price as seniors. Perhaps for each new member that joins at a discount, an older member gets a senior discount if they renew for full price the second year. Perhaps we should sell life memberships. Why not give a premium to each new member that completes five years and then ten years?
