[/QUOTE] I’ve heard it said several times. Just Googled “baby boom birth rate” and came up with this [handy article and graph](http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/SamuelBernard2.shtml). No clue about sources and accuracy, but according to the graph and narrative, 1957 had the peak birth rate of 268.8/10,000 U.S. women. Here’s some of the raw data: 1954 237.9 1955 244 1956 259.4 1957 268.8 1958 264.3 1959 264.5 1960 268.1 GT ---

Another 1958 here. **fishbicycle** , have you hit the big 5-0, or is it still looming? I get to hang on to my forties until September. Og, this thread is depressing! It’s bad enough that there are Dopers who were born the year I got married ( **brewha** ). But 1989?!?? That’s just not right! 😛 ---
