Baby Boomers ...

As we baby boomers grow older, we tend to reflect on the past. We remember the "good old days" and the people we knew then: friends, classmates, co-workers, neighbors and others.

We sometimes wish to hear from or at least about them. Did they marry the person they loved when we knew them? Did they have kids? How many? Where are they now?

Yes, sadly some of them have gone to the great beyond and others have moved on to towns and cities around the world. That makes it all the more difficult for us to contact each other. Fortunately, the advent of the Internet helped to bridge that gap -- a little!

With the correct name and some luck, one could now find anyone with a web presence. Unfortunately, that is mostly true for males because it depends on the person having the same name and therefore excludes the females who changed their names when they got married.

A few names from my Primary School days (1958 to 1964): Angela Reyes, Amoy Assam, Helen Chin, Myrtle Mahabir and Neila Bagoo.

From Secondary School (1964 to 1969): Gail Lalla, Joan Bernadine, Patricia Blackman and Zenobia Mohammed.

Later in life (1975 to 1976): Natasha Mohammed, Nancy Jackson and Lisa-Marie Khan.

If you happen know any of these people, please consider forwarding this page to them.

A man and his wife, now in their 60's, were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. On their special day, a good fairy came to them and said that because they had been such a devoted couple she would grant each of them a very special wish.

The wife wished for a trip around the world with her husband. Whoosh! Immediately she had airline and cruise tickets in her hands. The man wished for a female companion 30 years younger. Whoosh! Immediately he turned ninety!!! Gotta love that fairy!

An elderly man goes into a brothel and tells the madam he would like a young girl for the night. Surprised, she looks at him and asks how old he is. "I'm 90 years old," he says. "Ninety!" comments the madam. "Don't you realize you've had it?" "Oh, sorry," said the old man, "How much do I owe you?"
