KT got banned from Facebook about 3 years back...some scoundrel hacked KT's Facebook Account and and changed the Royal Password...after repeated attempts to log back on, KT was deemed a hacker and banned for life! KT decided He did not want to be on Facebook anymore anyway anyhow! Lived 67 years of my life off of it, was on it for 3 years, then kicked off, THWT. His Majesty will live the rest of His Royal Life without that nonesense! So do not expect KT to contact them via Facebook. Today He filed an official complaint through PayPal and also mailed their home office a letter, strongly worded!
They have no local Chapter in Arkansas, and KT is not interested in attending any of their regional meetings. In 2000 KT was President of the National Friends of Mineralogy and knows how such organizations should be run, but they just do not seem to be with it....too bad...their loss, not KTs.
His Majesty did get two of the three books on Fluorescent Minerals today that He ordered off of Amazon....other book will arrive in a few days...early next week. Then will give the info on what one needs to have some reference materials available for this hobby! Stay tuned!
I'm not crazy about Facebook but it's about the only way my far away relatives keep in touch occasionally.
I just checked that Facebook page again and it says they have 5.9K members, so I wonder how many of them signed up for the paid membership in the FMS ?
I only registered for their web site (not Facebook) but did not join as a paid member.
On their web site it does ask current members "Have you renewed your membership for 2021 ?" .......So based on the lack of response you got so far at this point I am not sure if they are just slow in processing new members or what ?
