#220452 - 09/17/14 12:45 AM Catch the PBS Show on Boomers!
Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/12/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	American Masters: The Boomer List explores the story of the influential baby boomer generation (1946-1964) through the lives of 19 iconic boomers--one born each year of the baby boom. The program starts September 23, 2014 on your local PBS station. Time will vary, I assume. Here's a link to more details and some video clips. Looks pretty interesting IMHO! _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I wish to point your attention of 2 sites which state: (1) baby boomer definition...are boomers born after WWII in the mid '40's; (2) The Boomers are those born between 1944 - 1964. This comes up when goggling: Baby Boomer Definition dictionary.search.yahoo.com These sites and the fact that Chatty was a couple years older than I, were influential in my decision to join this site. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/12/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	Well, I've always heard that Baby Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. But whatever, I've always felt that the people who are here self-select themselves, and we don't ask for birth certificates in order to be participants. _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Well, here's my position. WWII ended in 1945; since my birthday is but 2 1/2 months from '45, I felt that was close enough to give me a little slack. But if y'all don't agree, I'll understand. God bless... _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/12/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	Jabber, you're a Baby Boomer as far as we are concerned. As I said before, we don't ask our members when they were born. For example, I absolutely know Chatty was not a Boomer, but as Dotsie told me, she contributed a lot to the mix of the group. Dotsie was right, and no one ever questioned Chatty's age, as far as I am aware. So let's not worry about when your birthday is. You are a major contributor to the BWS Forum, and we want you to stay and continue to feel welcome. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about the age of Baby Boomers. As you read it, you see the dates are a bit fluid. It's more about an attitude: Definition of Baby Boomers _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Thank you. I feel better. Sometimes I think I'm too sensative. I see even in your 220464 post they mention 1943 as an inclusive baby boomer. I kept seeing 1946-1964 and thought y'all were trying to tell me something. That's what provoked my reaction. Thanks again for clearing this up. Prayers 'n blessings... _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf
