[QCWA] Quarter Century or Not??

[n1baa at comcast.net]

And the crowd cheers loudly!!!

YES SIR!!! 25 years IS and should always remain the
'grade'...
For those who want a larger membership base...get out and
find those who have been "licensed" for 
at least 25 years and sign em up..... There are a BUNCH of
them..
