:Hello everyone,like Deirdre I am fairly new on the internet but have been collecting Indy since 1981.I have been curious about other Indy fans,like how old they are and what they do for a living. I am 42 years old and sometimes feel like the oldest guy doing this!Don't care though as this has been a rewarding hobby for years.I live in Colorado and finding Indy collectibles is tough,but over the years have been fortunate to build a 475 piece collection.I don't collect Young Indy or Disney related items and my most revered piece is 92 original stills from Raiders.E-bay has been both rewarding and frustrating,but the best advice I can give anyone who collects is be patient. I hope I get some responses from you and let me know your about yourselves,feel free to post or E-mail me. All the best Craig
: : Dear Forum:
: : I'm a fairly new member of the Indy forum; been observing your flow of opinions and exchange of ideas since a couple of months already, yet never had the courage to actually interact since recently.
: : Does everyone in here know everybody else? Have you all ever been introduced to each other, whether formally or informally?
: : I guess that this would be a good idea to get to know everyone on the forum a little bit better.
: : Those who read this should answer my post bearing in mind to share something about them--but not too much if one prefers his/her privacy; tell me and the rest of the forum how they became fans and discovered this website; reveal their other secret passions and hobbies (aside Indy!)---*note*: I noticed that about more than 50% of the regulars are also avid authors who have written or ahve started to write their own books already!
: : In short--> LET'S ALL GET THIS FORUM WORKING AS IT SHOULD!
: : WE INDYFANS SHOULD STICK TOGETHER!
