1954 to 1965

Not really a fan of group identities. Yesterday, I ran across one that is new to me: Generation Jones.

I land at about the middle of this group. I had no parent returning from WWII. I was too young for Vietnam. Too young for Woodstock. I was not born in the 40s. This feels like a better fit than Baby Boomer.

I thought growing up in the last century was a pretty good deal. Ditto for adult life.

The WWII generation set up a modern society that seemed to be working pretty well. Still room for improvement, but mostly, things seemed to be up and running. The post-911 era has not gone well.

Several years back, I started the Old Man Blog category. It involves thoughts on changes in American culture relating to those born roughly in the late 50s & early 60s.
