November 4 was Election Day, but my column that day was not about the election. It was a personal piece from life as a baby boomer.  I bring it up again because I received a lot of letters from readers about it, and because our family just lost one of the relatives mentioned in it: Uncle Frank Popolo. Here's a photo from a picnic a couple of years ago: Aunt Genie, her husband, my Uncle Frank, and my mother, the former Rose Popolo, who turns 95 in March.
