Did we baby boomers really have it so good? To try to answer the question I use experiences from my life to look areas where I think we were particularly lucky, These include growing up in the austere post war years, benefiting from universal free education, having shared values, and reaping the rewards of major scientific and medical breakthroughs.
Views: 654 | Enquiries: 4I am an experienced writer and public speaker and currently offer three talks. The first tells of my adventures on two Greyhound Bus road trips around America half a century apart - and of how I coped with the changes in the country, bus travel and myself. The second describes my experiences as a junior reporter in Devon in the 1970s, and laments the demise of local newspapers. The third is a personal look back at the second half of the 20th century, and argues that we baby boomers have been a lucky generation.
I spent two decades working as a journalist for local, national and medical publications, and two decades running courses on writing and editing skills for health professionals. I have also published four books on medical writing, including Winning the Publications Game, now in its fourth edition. I am a former president of the Mole Valley Speakers Club and former president d’honneur of the Wimereux Cricket Club in France. I live in Surrey with a saintly American wife and a needy garden. I am willing to Zoom anywhere, but I would expect most of my live talks to be in the south-east.
