Talkin' About My Generation
Wayne Scheer

I once dreamed big dreams.

I taught school and quoted Ghandi and King and Susan B. Anthony, spreading seeds of inspiration like an idealistic Johnny Appleseed.

I married and raised children. Paying the mortgage took priority over planting my forest of dreams.

Now I'm retired. I golf and sell Extended Health Care to my peers.
