Well, I'm 41. I was a teen-ager when I started watching UFO. I also joined the
fan club that was based in California at that time, too!

I am 38 and I first saw UFO when I was 17. I searched for years for other UFO
fans but didn't find any fans or see any episodes until about 15 years later.
That is when I found Marc's ufo site and this group. During that 15 year period
I had only 4 cassette tapes to listen to (3 episodes) that I had recorded by
holding my "not so state of the art" tape recorder up to the TV. I cherished
those tapes (as primitive as they were) and played them so many times that they
eventually wore out. I later found out that Helen Weber had her fan club in
Philadelphia during the years I lived there (1985-1989)...I just didn't know.

Lorraine, did you keep any of the fan club newsletters? I collect
these, and am missing some issues...

I think my sister still has about twelve audio tapes
of the eps.

Hi all!

In regards to age with UFO - I was 12 in the fall of 1970 when it began
broadcasting here in Atlantic Canada. The following spring (May 1971) my
parents and I had to move to PEI and live there for many months because my
maternal grandparents had been in a horrible car accident and almost died.
We moved into their house and stayed there - I was taken out of school for
the rest of the year, my dad kept working, my mom traveled everyday back and
forth from eastern PEI to Charlottetown (the provincial capital) to see her
parents in hospital. It was a terrible time. However, the one respite I had
that spring and summer was watching UFO in repeats. It literally saved my
sanity. When my grandmother was deemed able to come home from the hospital,
it was my job to sleep with her, administer all her medications, get her up
and dressed in the morning, feed her three meals a day, amuse her, bathe
her, and get her ready for bed at night. This continued for several months.
I e-mailed Mike Billington earlier this month to thank him for the relief
the show gave to one world-weary 13-yr old that awful summer.

What memories! :-)
I am 38 and I first saw UFO when I was 10 years old. I also recorded
some of them on tape holding the microphone to the TV speaker - no
videorecorder in sight at this time (1972)... I loved to hear the
cassettes (did it over and over again 8-)

Hey guys! I also tape recorded UFO episodes, but those tapes disappeared
decades ago. That's why I'm so keen to receive the UFO videotapes I ordered
from amazon.com - they e-mailed me today and said they sent them out this
am, WAH! I wanted them for the weekend!!!
(*sob...moan...bitch....complain...*)
