Occasionally, however, you'll find one person who is considerably younger than the senior seniors of the group. This person is likely to:
• Be in his mid-50's
• Have white or gray hair (no hair dye is allowed in the OFC; it's borderline blasphemous)
• Sometimes have facial hair to give the additional illusion of age
• And maybe even wear suspenders or a grampa-esque sort of hat (a fedora, perhaps) to keep up appearances.
This person is also likely to be an old fogey from then on—and proud to be one, since they're now considered part of their local chapter of the OFC.
Having been taken under the wing of the senior members, they know their newly-earned status is a coveted one and do not take it for granted.
