I feel a bit awkward welcoming a new member as I feel as though I am a relatively new member myself. I was an annual member for a few years before becoming a life member myself.
I too, would suggest that you become not only a member, but a life member. I suspect that you will become the caretaker of more Parkers and the savings on letters will pay for the life membership over time. Additionally, the amount of information you will obtain from being a member will be of interest to you.
The entertainment value of the good natured bickering between Dean Romig and one other member here is worth the price of admission alone. I have never met any of the other members but you live in an area that you could interact with, and participate in the activities of, members of the organization.
Good luck, and best wishes. Oh, and welcome.
