Doc Hudson, F&AM, CSA, NRA(Life Member), SCV, IOFA

Forgive me if I am being impertinent, but you are obviously proud of them or you'd not display them.
No impertinence preceived on my side. If I objected to explaining the acronyms, I'd not post them. In fact someone else asked for an explanation shortly after I started posting here.

F&AM = Free & Accepted Mason, of which I am a Master Mason

CSA = Confederate Sixguners of America. A loose, informal association of Southerners who call Sixgunner.com' forums their home on the Internet.

NRA (Life Member)= I am a proud Life Member of the National Rifle Association.

SCV = Sons of Confederate Veterans, made up of descendants of Confederate Vetrans, I'd not be surprised to find an SCV chapter near you, there are several in Britain.

IOFA = Intolerant Old Farts of America, though with our international membership, we should probably change the "A" to "Association." A very informal group of opinionated old farts who don't hesitate to to let our opinions be known. Membership is limited to folks over the age of 40. Trainees, those under age 40, are IYFA, i.e. Intolerant Young Farts. (All in fun. No dues, no officers, no meetings.)
Many thanks, Doc. I now feel I know you so much better today than I did yesterday.
