Happy Birthday, Leah!
Happy Birthday, Leah!
Between Two Worlds
Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.
This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.

Chicano? Is that politically correct?
what a cute pic of lee lee!
Yes, the "Chicano" comment almost prevented me from posting the note. But, LEAH wrote it, not me. She was only a few days old and didn't know any better!
Terms like "Chicano" go in and out of favor---it was not at all derogatory at the time. Plus, it's probably a term your grandparents used.
