**Zeldar** , thanks! I’ve never even been quoted in another thread, let alone prompted someone to start one! (Now I can die happy…_arrrrrgh_)

I’m in Group 2 (in my early 60s). I’ll have to think about the 50s beginning, since I wasn’t alive for that…  
As a Recovering Hippie, I’m more concerned with when the 60s began and ended. For which I like Sam’s answer in the other thread:
