I am as tail end on the baby boomers as you can get! December 64.

I’m a baby boomer, but who says I’m grown up!!

Gen Y! 1983

I’m the Silent Generation, what a great Fun time
to grow in (notice in not up.)
When kids could be kids, with friends of all ages.
We were a neighbor hood, looking out for everyone.
FUN FUN.

In the earlier part of the Baby Boomers. . . . . . .I’m still living life to the fullest and will probably never “grow up.” Thanks for all the fun things you share with us.

Very end of the Baby Boomers.

I’d be the last year of the baby boomers too.

I guess I’m a baby boomer- always felt I was inbetween- not quite a gen x.

I’m a Millennial! Let’s hear it for the 80’s and 90’s, they’re totally coming back! (at least the 80’s are. Even the music! Who would’ve thought?)

I’m from the “silent” generation. I don’t know why they called them silent. But it was a great time to be a kid.
I live in a very small town now (population about 1400) so it’s a lot like when I was very young. But not quite the same.

Thanks for your wonderful web site.

Generation X Now I need to find out more of what I should be doing about that!

I am part of the “Silent Generation” and was raised in a small town in Iowa with a population of only 500. It still has only 500. Everyone there seemed to believe “it takes a the whole village to raise a child” so if I was doing something my parents wouldn’t approve of they knew about it before I got home. Looking back, it seems it was a lot less hectic than today.

The Silent Generation and proud of it. I’m glad I had the opportunity live at a time when we were really free! Playing outside all day, NIckle Saturday matinees
and walking many blocks to school by myself!

Baby Boomer, I have seen a lot of changes and upheaval in my time! All for the better, so far so good!!!
