I too have been having problems with my membership.  I was a student member
until 1985. (or so I thought).  Then I became a member. (or so I thought)

It turns out the I was raised to MEMBER status in 1984, dropped to STUDENT
status in 1984/1985.  Then became an ASSOCIATE member in 1985.

I have been trying to get this fixed for 2 years now.  The last time I asked
they said send in the dues and they will issue me a card with MEMBER status.

I replied, send me an invoice with MEMBER status, then I will send in the 
money.  Well, the invoice never arrived.  So I never sent in the money.

Just the other day, I was sent a form to re-establish my membership.  Just
a form letter and form application.  But nothing with my name and the status
of MEMBER on it.

So until they send me somthing with MEMBER   Ronald D. Shaw, they will not
get one cent from me.
