Ask not...the sixties generation turns 60
Ask not...the sixties generation turns 60

The first baby boomers turning 60 are the same generation that John F. Kennedy famously challenged to ask themselves what they could do for their country. This same generation is now positioned to lead another social movement based on sharing life experience. They couldn't come along at a better time.
