Prime Timers Worldwide was founded in 1987 by a retired professor, Woody Baldwin. He felt a wide gap existed in today's society which caters almost exclusively to youth.  The worship of "eternal youth" is never more flagrant than in the gay culture.

Woody began the Boston Chapter by placing ads in local newspapers and soliciting his friends.  He expected only a handful of men to attend the first meeting and was surprised when over 40 showed up.  This confirmed Woody's idea that a need existed for social and cultural organizations to aid the aging gay and bisexual man.

Prime Timers Chapters provide older gay and bi men the opportunity to enjoy a rich, active and and meaningful social life.

The organization also plays a leading role in the gay community by focusing on issues faced by aging gay men.

Woody now resides in Austin, Texas and remains a driving force in Prime Timers.  His hard work and vision resulted in a vibrant, growing organization with chapters around the world.
