Description
The 76 reasons why it's great to be a Boomer are about intriguing people-as well as the many things we had, shows we saw, and songs we heard during our early years. They are discovered in the stories of young Boomers who grew up among us, many of whom went on to do remarkable things. In their experiences we see several different views of the 1960s, 1970s and other years of our life. It makes these times take on a richness and color that can't be seen by taking only one point of view. And it brings us right up to today. Some of these young people were raised by single parents and struggled, while others grew up in well-to-do families. Some lived all those years in one town or city, while others moved with their parents to many states and schools. There were run-ins with the law, marijuana usage and teen pregnancies. This is real life and these are real people. And most of these things were echoed in our own life or the lives of our friends. We all lived through the difficult days of the Vietnam War, the tender nights of first dates and first loves, and shared the euphoric days when new songs came out by bands and artists we knew and loved. Words can't describe it. You have to see the many reasons why it's great to be a Boomer, brought to life by 100 pictures.
