Wayne certainly had a great sense of humor. My favorite was
when Wayne printed a letter from the XYL of a subscriber
complaining about the 73 covers of scantily clad hotties and
that her husband didn't need to see such trash and to cancel
his subscription immediately.

I'm not sure if you're replying to my message. I was the one who brought
up the matter of life subscriptions.

My point was never "what happens to the life subscribers", since even
without Wayne's statement, by definition a "life subscription" should
end when the subscriber dies, or the magazine dies.

I was just really curious if 73 had indeed honored the life subscriptions
over all those years. $37 probably wasn't cheap forty years back when
the magazine was new, but that's an outright steal for anyone who
was getting it right up to the last issue. I remember them offering
life subscriptions in 1973 for $73 and except that that was a lot of
money for me at the time, it still would have been a steal. That would
barely pay for two or three years of a magazine subscription today.
