Special Group .. Born Between 1930 - 1946
Irma Labbock Special Group .. Born Between 1930 - 1946. Today, they range in ages from 75 to 90. Are you or do you know someone "still here"? Interesting Facts for you . . You are the smallest group of children, born since the early 1900s. You are the last generation, climbing out of the depression, who can remember the winds of war and the impact of a world at war which rattled the structure of our daily lives for years.

Alan Kagan, Jeffrey Doranz, Bob Hollingshead, myself (Sandy Lipshutz, now Levine) were in the 5th grade. BTW, years ago, when I worked for the New York Times, Al Downing came into the newsroom as a public relations exec. He remembered me with a warm greeting and impressed my colleagues.
