The TCA member loss of 15+% parallels NASG's member losses in the last 8-10 
years and also subscription losses of major magazines.  I am not privy to NMRA 
membership numbers but I'd bet a cold one they fall right in line.   Seems 
significant when the numbers all begin to align…!    Hopefully the 1 - 2% per 
year decline will not accelerate, but it looks to be a pretty constant theme…
