Silent? My PATOOTIE!
From another born before 1946, I agree with Jan.
I thought the quiet generation referred to the 1950's folks who went along with the crowd...women dressed in high heels to cook dinner, served cocktails to her neighbors, obeyed without discussion! Stepford wife type....Not that my mother was anything like that!
Maybe you pre 46'ers just can't remember that stuff....{{{giggle}}}
