A FREE SPIRITED LIFE

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!
