Interesting! But what does a "charter member" mean? Could Ian McKellen be kind of like an honorary member? He is definitely worthy of the distinction, along with Christopher Lee and Sean Bean at least (IMHO). I can't imagine him actually being a member of the Tolkien Society. I think he's probably too busy with acting and wild Hollywood parties, unlike the rest of us!
