I believe I make it 5 for '55. Pretty good company I’m in, too. Sheesh, I have kids the same ages as some of the people on here. And they won’t get off my lawn, either. Nor will they mow it. ---

I was born the day Rosa Parks refused to get up. That was in 1955 for those who can’t recall. I’d tell you when Pepper Mill was born, but I can’t see an upside to that. MilliCal was born in 1997, though. ---

It looks like I’m the fourth 1964 model here. My folks had the option of wood panel siding on me but thankfully left it off, though I do have bucket seats. By my understanding of such things I’m one of the last of the 'boomers. ---

1960 (born two days after JFK was elected). Haven’t read the whole thread, but I imagine I’ve got company – 1960 was a very popular year for giving birth; the end of the Baby Boom, just before the Sexual Revolution and the Pill. ---

Born December 20th 1941. The bombs and bullets were thick all around as that bastard Hitler and his motley bunch tried to snuff me out. 1924…Hitler released from prison after serving just 8 months 1945…Nuremburg War Crimes trials begin 1945…Edda Mussolini jailed for 2 years for aiding Fascism 1960…Last commandant of Auschwitz arrested Jebus, my birthday seems suspiciously Nazi-ish ---

[QUOTE=eleanorigby] I’m 1962 as well, and I agree with your characterization-we are the Lost Generation, IMO. And we have no voice… [/QUOTE] We are not lost. Apparently we are in demand! Both Boomers & X’ers want us. I will stick with being a boomer since that is what I heard the entire time I was growing up.
