Great read, Carol.

I, too, am a Proud Baby Boomer (67 years of age and getting better as time proceeds). I don’t consider myself “old,” however, just “seasoned.”

I have not had any children, nor have I associated with people who’ve had children, so the concepts of parenting and grandparenting are alien to me.

From my observations based on dealing with quite a few much younger officemates, employees, and members of political groups to which I’ve belonged, I can say that Generation X was fairly damaged, but the Millennials? Apparently, the schools produced a generation of politically-correct, hypersensitive snowflakes, and then the Millennials themselves absorbed these values and behaviors to the point where they are a caricature of adults.

Generation Z, on the other hand, seems to be the real deal in terms of holding and acting on values that just might restore this country to what its Founding Fathers envisioned as a democracy.

Having written a book (The ‘Plenty’ Book: the Answer to the Question “What Can I do to Make This a Better World?”), I summed up a life’s worth of experiences in politics, technology transfer, volunteer work, education and other activities of note and shared a few life-lessons to help people suffering from frustration about what they can do to improve their world (neighborhood, city, state, country). And, perhaps, that is something you, too, can do to leave a legacy beyond being stuffed in a shoebox and left under a grandchild’s bed….
