Being  slightly younger than Logan, as far as numbers go 77240, I have let my 
 membership lapse over the years but have always renewed with the same 
number.  I remember the old number and just tell the old one. So if any of the old  
timers can remember that number, they can probably get that number back.

Unfortunately, it does not work like that.  For database maintenance,  
numbers were purged periodically.  I had a membership number in the  50,000s, and 
let it lapse.  When renewing again a few years later, I asked  for the old 
number, but it was gone.  So now I have one in the  105,000s.  While It would be 
neat to whip out a card with a 5 digit number  (even one that was just in the 
middle), I must live with my 6-digit  number now.
 
I can be superior to my children (130,000s and 140,000s).
