Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1949, Martin Feess joined the American baby boomer generation—one of the most privileged group of people to ever walk the earth. While growing up in a small Wisconsin town on a picturesque lake, Feess learned about Dick and Jane, collected an abundance of toys, played baseball, and watched hours of television westerns, just like many other boys of his generation. In a fascinating story of a boomer’s time as seen through a boomer’s eyes, Feess leads others through his experiences as part of the disillusioned generation of the Vietnam War as he matured, served in the army, attended college, and moved west to begin a new chapter. While sharing personal anecdotes, observations, and lessons learned, Feess provides a look into how his journey eventually took him to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia where he learned to embrace the perspectives of others living around the world. Through his experiences and historical reflections, Feess offers an educational window into the making of a unique generation that today looks back in laughter and forward in hope while attempting to better understand who we all are as Americans. A Baby Boomer’s Times, Travels, Thoughts, and Hopes shares personal stories, observations, and historical facts that provide an entertaining and thought-provoking slice of Americana.

This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to." The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien Why should you read a book about the Baby Boomer generation? Good question. From our sunrise (Davy Crockett hats, hula hoops, the polio vaccine and practicing for a nuclear attack by hiding under our desks in school) then going forward, the Baby Boomer generation was a major influence affecting both America and the world. So, as we ride into the sunset, it may be worthwhile not only for our generation but also for our children and for our grandchildren to begin to understand what we did, why we did it and how those actions will affect their lives for years to come. It's been approximately five decades since we Baby Boomers came of age and took our own first steps on the Road of Life, writing our generation's chapters in the Book of American and World History as we traveled that road. Our history is now inscribed in that Book for all time. It is the record of our successes and failures, our highs and our lows, our joys and our sorrows. Which paths did we follow? What were the results when we turned right or left? What was around the curve? What did we see in the distance? When we got there, was it what we thought it would be? Now that we've traveled that road, what do we think of as we look back at our journey? Table of Contents Chapter 1: Rating the Baby Boomer Generation: On a Scale of 1-10 where do we rate? Chapter 2: An Ode to our Parents, the Greatest Generation: Maybe You Weren't So Bad After All Chapter 3: A Tale of Two Clocks: How the Baby Boomers "Turned the Tables on Nature" Chapter 4: The State of Israel: A Blessing for Jewish Baby Boomers, Their Children and Grandchildren Chapter 5: Baby Boomers and the Law of Unintended Consequences-I: "The Americans Who Are Not Here" Chapter 6: Baby Boomers and the Law of Unintended Consequences-II: "The Americans Who Are Here" Chapter 7: Yesterday and Today: The "Children of the 60's" 50 Years Later This book is written in an informal manner using a user friendly approach to describe aspects of our life which the author considers as important historically, socially and culturally. Its goal is to provide one Baby Boomer's reflections of that decade's old adventure, the road we traveled, the challenges we faced, the decisions we made. Considering that the author reached his Biblical three score and ten, it seemed appropriate that this was the time for him to set down on paper his reflections of our time on the Stage of Life. As indicated in the Table of Contents, this book contains seven essays each of whose topics this Baby Boomer considers of special significance as they defined our place in history, how we changed America and the world, for better or for worse. It is hoped that the reader will consider his choice of topics appropriate, his analysis of significance and the information contained in each essay timely. All told, it's been a "hell of a ride." And, it may not be over yet.

Book excerpt: Growing older ... is a GOOD thing! Right? It does beat the alternative!

What you like to be reassured that it is okay to take a vacation - to take some time off? In fact, that it is not only okay, but necessary for your survival?!

Book excerpt: Are you a card-carrying member of the Baby Boomer generation? Or are you a son or daughter of a baby boomer? If you want to reminisce or simply find out about some of the life stages of this era, you will enjoy this book. This book is a series of stories that will take you back to the coonskin caps of the fifties, the Kennedy assassination and Vietnam in the sixties, raising a family during the seventies and eighties and nineties. It deals with happiness and depression, joy and heartache, emotions we all experience during a lifetime. And if the unthinkable happens - the unexpected and sudden death of a spouse - how do you cope? How do you reflect on the past...and the future? How do you handle the shock and the immediate aftermath? How do you deal with changes in relationships with friends and family? Most importantly, where do you find joy and how? This book looks back at the experiences of my life growing up in the fifties and sixties, married life and young parenthood in the seventies and beyond, and then navigating through the challenges of sudden widowhood. Sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, I hope some of my stories will strike a cord with you. The unexpected death of a spouse and the resulting fallout are lessons for every one of us. You will find humor and heartache as each story offers a peek into the life of one Baby Boomer through the eyes of the woman who lived the stories.

Book excerpt: To Boomers One and AllCaution! Once you start down this path there may be no turning back. You will be compelled to reflect on those long summer days, your own rites of passage, that fair young maiden that twisted your heart into a pretzel, the boys of your youth that taunted, dared and lived the adventures at your side. What will you find? You will find good times. You will find sad times. You may find that the years have added perspective and made sense of many of the things you did. You will find that some of the things you did are still inexplicable. Are all of these issues covered in the Chronicles? In some form or fashion yes; although some may still be trapped in our memories.The Joe Lunchbucket Chronicles are a collection of stories that share what may be universal boomer experiences. Maybe, just maybe, your stories may not be so far off the beaten path from that which Joe Lunchbucket has traveled. Maybe you will find yourself in these stories. Maybe these Chronicles will bring to mind memories of your own days of high adventure.Joe Lunchbucket came to grips with the fact that neither he nor his experiences were unique unto themselves. What he discovered was that the collection of people, the times, events and places shared were unique. The Chronicles cannot just be stories to the reader; they need to be the gateway to your own remembrances. If you let yourself drift a little bit, stare off into space, you will soon find yourself, as Joe did, right back in the thick of it. You will find your own magical time and place. Its there waiting for you. Get going!

Book excerpt: A compilation of essays, poems and letters written over the last few decades and woven together in a narrative that tells the story of a baby boomer's lifetime. This book was written as a labor of love, detailing a wonderful journey through our often tumultuous times. The book begins with some family historical backround and continues along the march of time from the 'wild eyed wonder' of youth, 'coming of age', in the 70's and 80's, living the 'American dream', family life, 'loss and sorrows', 'love and romance', all the way to the present day perspective of a life lived well and full. The book reflects one man's values and details how they came to be, and where they have led him. In it, I hope others can find moments, emotions and memories with which to identify along with perhaps an understanding that there has always been much more to our lives than meets the eye. The book, for the greater part, is a-political, focusing instead on cultural and family life from the 1960's through the present day, all with hints of a private, but obvious foundation in faith and optimism. The essays, poems and letters all draw upon lessons learned, some the hard way, from parents, neighbors, friends and most of all experience. Some family photos are included, both as an illustration of the times and themes, and the author's personal story. The author grew up in what was then, the small Massachusetts town of Franklin, then settled in the 'Quiet Corner' of Northeastern Connecticut to raise his own family. He lived in each for roughly thirty years, and this is a story of those times, places and the people who rode along on the journey. As the middle child of nine siblings, children of a high school English teacher, and a deeply thoughtful, if somewhat beleaguered home-maker, the 'gift of gab', seemed a natural birthright. Life in the 1960's and 70's in that small bedroom community had a most significant impact. Ours is a very different world today, from the one we all grew up in, some truths do remain, others no doubt, are sorely missed. The importance and influence of those 'small town' values, from a different time in America, extended through into the development of the author's life as a father himself, and to the lives of his children in another small town in Connecticut. The world certainly has changed, but many of the ideals and principles have survived. These writings are the product of a 'Life of Contemplation', a consideration of perhaps a grander scheme to things, and at the very least a tale of wonderful adventure that drives home the point offered to the author at ten years old by his father, that we can indeed, "Choose to be happy, regardless of the circumstances". That advice has been my mantra, and my hope is that others can read that in these writings, and hopefully find some truth of it, in their own lives.

Book excerpt: The baby boom of 1945-65 produced the biggest, richest generation that Britain has ever known. Today, at the peak of their power and wealth, baby boomers now run the country; by virtue of their sheer demographic power, they have fashioned the world around them in a way that meets all of their housing, healthcare, and financial needs. In this original and provocative book, David Willetts shows how the baby boomer generation has attained this position at the expense of their children. Social, cultural, and economic provision has been made for the reigning section of society, whilst the needs of the next generation have taken a back seat. Willetts argues that if our political, economic, and cultural leaders do not begin to discharge their obligations to the future, the young people of today will be taxed more, work longer hours for less money, have lower social mobility, and live in a degraded environment in order to pay for their parents' quality of life. Baby boomers, worried about the kind of world they are passing on to their children, are beginning to take note. However, whilst the imbalance in the quality of life between the generations is becoming more obvious, what is less certain is whether the older generation will be willing to make the sacrifices necessary for a more equal distribution. The Pinch is a landmark account of intergenerational relations in Britain. It is essential reading for parents and policymakers alike.

Book excerpt: Hello fellow Baby Boomers and those who would like to read a book that may explain your parents, grandparents, and some of your great grandparents. This is the story of one of these Baby Boomers, me. My book, A Boomer's Tale, is a fun and sometimes serious stroll through the life and times of me. I interject as much humor as I can, in the hope that I can entertain while educating you starting with my early childhood in the 50's coming of age in the 60's and 70's. My Marine Corps and Vietnam experiences, my post-military life growing a family along with a long-haul trucking career, up till today will entertain and educate. You fellow Boomers and Vietnam vets may see yourself in these pages. This is the kind of book I wish my parents and grandparents would have written, so I could have better known their lives. Foreword: Growing up in the 1960s near Chicago is depicted with wit and charm. Ed introduces the reader to the inside working of the adolescent male mind as he navigates dating and relationship ups and downs. Other Vietnam Era veterans will see themselves in this account and relate to the constant struggle to 'soldier on' when you don't feel like it. This was written at the beginning of what will surely be a creative and productive retirement. Thanks for the memories. Love, Gina

Book excerpt: The seventy-six million Americans born between 1946 and 1965 have reshaped America with their style, their tastes and, above all, by their sheer numbers. The Boomers are passing through American history, outnumbering the previous generation by a staggering 28 million. This book is a refreshing reminder of what we considered the simpler, quieter times of the fifties, surviving the turbulent sixties and further impressions of a baby boomer growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hopefully, it will take you on a trip down memory lane. Times have changed so much from the fifties, some for the good, some for the bad, but life does go on and we as baby boomers will survive.

Book excerpt: This Book is the first in a series for Baby Boomers in search of Spiritual answers. Finding God helps guide you through the first steps you must take if you are to believe in a Higher Power - and is written especially for Baby Boomers Guide by a vintage 1948 author. The Woodstock Generation has some members who are Lost! We are trying to find them. Baby Boomers Guide: Finding God! is written for the nearly half of Boomers who are dropouts from formal religion. There are those who think that "Religion' is a bad thing - this Baby Boomers Guide will try to offer up some ideas for your Spiritual contemplation. I want to share with you what I hope is a logical and plausible case for the existence of God - that can stand up to whatever the Scientists are saying today. These days there are people who want to say that God did not have to exist, or that there was no time for God to have been created. Others think the idea of God is so ridiculous that they make a movie about it! I hope to show you why these things are not necessarily true! Boomers can pose some really hard questions and it is really hard to pull the wool over most Baby Boomer's eyes - it seems like we have seen it all! We have been witness to some pretty remarkable things in our life! We questioned authority We trusted no one over 30! We were and still are ... unique Sometimes this was good Sometimes this didn't work out too well! Times were changing and it was like no other time since. We got to see it all in color! I struggled for several decades of my adult life trying to reconcile what I was taught about God and religion in my youth and what I had learned about science and life. I have come to believe two things: Science and God are totally compatible. A Life of Hope is a good way to go. We present a case for God - but try to do so in a highly-illustrated eBook that takes on topics such as: Is there a God? Is God Dead? Does Science Disprove God? I Don't believe in Adam and Eve The Bible is wrong Who Created the Universe and beyond? Why Believe in God? and much more!

Book excerpt: BOOMER: A Boomer or Baby Boomer is a popular term used to describe the generation born at the end of WW11 between the years 1946 and 1964 when massive military troops returned home from war and as a result there was a Boom in the birth of babies. Boomers make up over twenty percent of the United States population. The topic for this short story came about as a reflection of my childhood years on a remote farm in Central Washington. Contemplation of my youthful experiences brought forth a tidal wave of memories, which were both profound and noteworthy. The emotions that sprang back to life seemed to justify a story be developed, written, and shared. This retrospection caused me to internalize those things which were important to me in later years. As the layers of my memory peeled back, the era and topic of the book became clear. It was a warm, loving, and pivotal time in my youth-one in which I transitioned from a reckless city lifestyle to one that was characterized by strict discipline and military-style regimentation on the farm. The story is a period of my past that I reflect upon to this day and feel good about. I was inspired and motivated by Grandparents and a supportive uncle, both that had my best interest and warmth of heart in mind. The familial research for the story reached back to what was then called the Old Country, Russia, Ellis Island, the Dakotas, Montana, Oklahoma, Washington, and Oregon. Little did I know that my research would also delve into geography, immigration, migration, pandemics, epidemics, watersheds, the nuclear arms race, pollution, politics, and human bonding. I spent a good deal of time on this manuscript and came to the stark realization that it's not the length of the story but the depth of introspection and the story that is born. For me, there was an inverse relationship between the two. Writing this story was a surprise and an emotional roller-coaster ride for me. The writing process was a paradox, which was both painful and loving. As you read the pages of the book, look deep into your own past with your mind wide open and allow your memories to flow forward. My hope is that the reader is able to relive the innocence of their youth initiated by the thoughts on the following pages. Let the gray matter awaken and the journey begins.
