I just turned 73. Are any of the active forum members older than I am? I remember several years ago we had a member who was 99. Since we haven't heard from him recently, I assume he is no longer living. Leroy is older than I am but is no longer an active participant. If you are one of our older members, tell us your age. Ditto if you are one of the youngest.

When I joined I believe I was the youngest forum member but now I’ve turned the fruitful age of 21.

Greetings,
I don't count toward either, but this question reminded me of being a manager in retail decades ago. On the work application was a simple question: "If you are not between the ages of 18 and 65, state your age." 9 out of 10 applications had an age entered - 22, 35, 51, etc.
Cheers!
Bandrow

It doesn’t matter, we are all young and look for more adventure to come.
Cheers to everyone here in this forum

Bandrow That's hilarious. Some of us just don't do well with trick questions. |

EXACTLY six years ago, I joined this forum. I am now 20 years old so perhaps the youngest or at least close. When I first joined I was only 14!

Ah 14. Oddly, it seems hardly more distant than 40 at this point.

My avatar is my best picture, still innocent, more or less.

Hey Billg,
I love that picture of you as a young tyke and aspiring biologist/entomologist !
I've got a couple of pictures of myself at that tender young age although, they do not show my hands holding the pill bottles (from my grandma) which I used to catch insects in my dad's flower garden. Too young to know about a net !
For me, that moment (or spark) of "insect inspiration" began at the age of 5 and has remained with me ever since...
It has been a fulfilling, enjoyable, and adventuresome walk through life so far.
