As a 'baby boomer' from the 20th century, I have a hands-on experience, coming from a great family with parents who were really inspiring, with traditional values and beliefs. There was little influence from governments and there was no social media. The future was an exciting and unknown adventure and as a teenager, you could dream the impossible.
We were not as technologically advanced as today, but far better off with our lifestyle choices. How can you miss what has not yet been invented or imagined! Family unity was the 'glue' that held us together, and I want to remind people of this.
