[quote=&quot;edchainsaw&quot;:3b6411cy]I have a question then as well.

My father was a member   and   we let  his membership expire.
If he signed back up would he get his old number back --given its been 7 or 8 yrs ago.[/quote:3b6411cy]

McMillen would assign him a new number. If you call and ask them for your old number, they will usually re-activate it, if it hasn't been long since you ran out. I'm not sure what the policy would be for one from that long ago, but I'm going to say that they are going to insist on a new number since information could have changed in that time. Things like phone area codes, new addresses being assigned for 911 reasons, and people moving are why they don't go back too far. Give them a call, it doesn't hurt to ask. 1-866-418-5548, 9 to 5, M-F, central time.
