"'"The young today are, to a remarkable degree, looking beyond their parents for guidance, for their "role models" -- looking beyond that failed and lost generation of which I am a member. Reaching past their parents to what remains of their grandparents, and to the other old, to get some hint about how to live. They don't want to be "ironical," they don't want to take the easy way out, they don't want something for nothing; they yearn to become fully real."'"

I'm certain the author was not speaking for all baby boomers. I proclaim proudly that many of us were and are still role models for our children because of the way we have lived our lives in a moral, honest, sincere and religiously devout and traditional manner. I must, however, thank my parents for instilling in me the characteristics noted.

I suspect many of the young people in attendance are the children of such parents.

Great article! Thanks for the ping Poly.

God bless,
