The “greatest generation” (I love the labels we now have for people – even adding an “alpha” generation when we needed a new name after we used up “generation Z”). To be in the greatest generation you need to be 94 and older.
In a province with over 1 million people, I hear the statistic from StatsCan is as follows: there are 4,005 people still living (less than the population of Kindersley, where I live). I happen to know a few of them. They live, presently, here in this town and around the province.
As you might guess, they are dying off – fulfilling that one statistic that we can’t get around – physical death!
Not a bad time to consider connecting with a greatest generation person – before it is too late!
