I used to work in a office with 8 people. 6 of us were born within two weeks of each other. Feb 29th through Mar 13th. yes Feb 29th!! 1956. AFAIK, the only leap day baby I ever met. Oddly, the other two people had birthdays within a week of each other, in December. At this time, April is leading, although Sample size is small. ---
