But, sad to see from the photos, that the average age looks like 62. And I am 6 years over that. :-(

Speaking as a father of four, part of the reason it's an old guy hobby is that young fathers don't have a ton of spare time or money. No regrets at all, mind you, but if I redirected the time I spent coaching girls softball, attending plays, musical performances, or gymnastics meets to my hobby, I'd have completed one heckuva layout 25 years ago.
