I have lost my letter of congratulations some time over the years (it
seems to have lost its significance) notifying me that my LM card was
being forwarded to the Unit secretary and informing me of all the
lovely benefits I was now eligible to receive. I am sure that somewhere
in a previous Bulletin, circa mid 70's there will be an article
detailing what then current LM's are entitled to, and what new LM's are
entitled to from that point on. All has changed slowly but surely since
then. And always you are incorrect Thomas.
