BOOMER Magazine: May 2019
BOOM! Just like that I find myself with a new description — I’m a Boomer, and proud of it. There is a lot to be said of our generation, but the thing I keep coming back to is this: We have lived through some of the most fascinating times, and we continue to do so. We look in the rear-view mirror and there is so much to see. Politics, sports, education, travel, work — all the grand experiences of our lives; and I for one enjoy looking back, but I also look forward with great anticipation and wonder, and that’s what BOOMER is all about — our lives and our future. How fortunate we are, this generation of doers and the shapers of the future. We are living longer and arguably better than those who came before us. But like them, we take our place on our planet seriously and we impact the world and those around us in a big way. We are a generation that saves. We are a generation that fought (and is still fighting) for the things we have. We are a generation that gives to charities and those in our community in a bigger way than any generation who came before us, and for all of this we should feel proud. BOOMER Sacramento is designed to celebrate our generation and the life we live and will continue to live. We will very likely live longer and better than any before us, and we will love and be loved longer than our predecessors as well. Making magazines is something we have done for decades and we enjoy the heck out of it. We are blessed with a wonderful staff, fantastic advertisers who allow us to put this all together, and most importantly, readers like you. We promise to listen to you and to strive to make this a magazine you come to enjoy and look forward to each month. Lastly, please let us know what you think of our new publication — if you love it, please email me at terry@stylemg.com; if you find yourself not loving it and feel the need to let us know, please email wendy@stylemg.com – it’s her fault! —Terry Carroll & Wendy Sipple
