I keep seeing references to various generations of Americans, but find them somewhat confusing, so I looked up definitions. A problem I found is that none of these cover my generation (born 1943). I guess I am in the unnamed pre-Babyboom generation. The Old Coot generation? Not quite old enough to be the Depression Generation.
