This is the colorful story of the life and times of an early Baby Boom generation member. In the US anyway, "Boomers" tended to be individualistic, experimental and social cause-oriented. They epitomized the cultural change of the 1960's. Memorable events of this time included the Cold War, "Red Scare", Cuban Missile Crisis, assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK, Jr. , political unrest, first moon walk, risk of the draft or military service in Vietnam, anti-war protests, women s liberation, "free love," the Civil Rights and Environmental Movements, drug experimentation, protests and riots, and Woodstock. The author was a "free spirit" and stand-out member of a very large generation. It was an exciting time - and a time to stand up and make a difference!
