<p>Fendrock, you nailed it.</p>
<p>Franglish, I’m just like you.</p>
<p>Boomers were technically born in '46 to '64. As a practical matter, people were waiting for the war to end. Then marriages picked up and of course it takes nine months or so to have a baby.</p>
<p>At the other end, “The Pill” came out in '60 and not everyone started taking it the same day.</p>
<p>JHS, your sister is a boomer, her opinion doesn’t matter. I totally agree about the Vietnam war. Guys in my HS graduation class '70 were the last to receive those lottery draft numbers. That was the last drawing and none were drafted. Since then high school boys don’t have to worry about college being interuppted by being drafted.</p>
<p>There is another term “Joneser” (from the song) for those born after '64.</p>
