Becoming MAC Septuagenarians! Posted Wednesday, April 19, 2023 07:56 PM April 2023 Dear MAC friends, There are always firsts in life, and by this time, most of us have experienced almost everything. But one thing that's sure is that we're becoming 'septuagenarians' for the first time. Yes, I said the unusual word "sep-tu-a-ge-nar-i-an!"
Many of you in our 1971 class have already turned 70 years old, but there are many who haven't. This birthday is a reflective time for us "1952-53" babies! We've been a part of the 'Baby Boomer" generation, which began immediately after World War II in 1946 and ended in 1964. We've experienced all the different stages of life by now and can confidently say, "Been there - Done that!" We still think of ourselves as being the 'Me Generation' and 'young-ish,' but the reality is we are closer to witnessing another century pass!
As you reach your birthday milestone of completing 70 years, I hope you celebrate your birthday like a Rockstar, exactly like you’ve celebrated your whole eventful youth — with ENTHUSIASM, EXCITEMENT, and THRILL! I personally wish you lots of happiness, joy, love, and good health, and that these gifts lead you into your happiest moments of life in the coming years ahead.
Happy Birthday to the Mac Class of 1971!
- Your lifelong friend,
Jenice Grahan Benedict

RE: Becoming MAC Septuagenarians! Posted Thursday, April 20, 2023 05:49 AM Janice Well said! And since I will turn 70 on Sunday, this hits home. Besides, I AM a rockstar (or at least I tried to be). Thanks for the thoughts and have a good 70th birthday, whenever it comes. Jim ps Septu-what? |
