25 in a few weeks...eek!

Well, this is my first post on this forum, and I find it rather fitting, as I had just turned sixty - five two months ago and restarted to the wearing of a Panama for the summer/felt for cooler weather.
I started reading the forum's posting comments at No 1 and arrived at this thread today, being impressed with not only the forum (The Fedora Lounge) but also those that are here as it's Denizens. Thank you all for my (continuing) education.
Regards,

"Former newspaper man, perhaps? (just curious about the -30-)."
QUOTE DNO.
Thank you Sire!
Long story short: My father worked for C N Telegraphs, hence the -30-, and I was once employed by A W Miles Undertakers when they were at 30 St Clair Avenue West. Gordon Sincair, (I was not a "fan") being a newspaper man and the later a broadcaster at C F R B next door to us, always joked that when his time was up he wanted us to "do our duty" with his remains. As you will no doubt remember, when The Toronto Telegram newspaper "died", they printed on the front page a large red 30. So may I say "That's the rest of the story"?
