Learning from Survivors

I’m a “Baby Boomer”.

According to the website “myenglishteacher.eu”, my children cross four generations: Generation X (born between 1965-1980); Xenniels (1975-1985); Millenials (1980’s-1994’s); and Generation Z (born after 1995).

Some of my grandchildren are also from Generation Z, and some are Alpha’s (2010-2025).

(Personally, I like the concept of an Alpha generation. It sounds like a new beginning.)

My great-grandparents, my grandparents and my parents comprise the Lost Generation, the Interbellum, and the Silent Generation (a.k.a. Builders).

I’ve known individuals from each of these generations, but I especially remember the “Greatest Generation (1910-1924)”. Members of this generation were touted as victors and survivors. And I remember the reverence expected from me towards them.

Thinking about individuals from times past, reminds me of the importance of knowing my heritage.

Ancestral stories are amazing resources.

Treasure awaits.

So, what are you waiting for?

Scavenge and find.
