Another "Pless Lerease" for Roger (NNG)

The Curmudgeons are Aging! Russo Loco 2/3 Century this week!!

Just a few years ago, a young Whippersnapper named Roger Hogan declared that "Five Old Farts" had joined in a effort to raise funds for the preservation of D&RGW/C&TS engine #483.

IIRC, in the interest of decorum and propriety on the NGDF - and a more accurate description of those involved - the term "Curmudgeon" was substituted for "Old Fart". At the time, Tom Gildersleeve and JBWX had recently retired, I was about to retire, while Roger and Ernie were still relative youngsters at less than sixty years of age. Time Flies!! All of us are now sixty or above, with myself about to reach the dreaded milestone this coming Tuesday of 24,350 days (3,478.57 weeks, 800 months [exactly], sixty-six and 2/3 years, or 2/3 of a Century)

Curmudgeon Wannabes such as Rich Muth and Cantankerous Fred of Ouitchitah are urged to contact Roger for official application forms upon reaching the cutoff age of sixty years; special Junior Curmudgeon and Curmudgeon-in-Training positions are also available.
