[Steam-engine] International Stationary Steam Engine Society

[Rick Rowlands]

Rick,

I would suppose that over 65 years of age is considered a senior for their 
discount purposes.  Just send Conrad a check and I don't think there will be 
too much said even if you are a bit shy on years.

Rick(in Ohio)
