PaulW, I tried to make my age clear in my first initial sentence but to clarify, I'm 62.
As a kid, I had been under the impression that the "Baby Boom" era ended within a few short years after the war was over. This was the time when millions of servicemen returned home, got married, and had a few kids right off the bat (so to speak), and that there was an explosion of babies from 1946 - 1952 or so. It was only later that they extended the Baby Boom era to include all babies born up until 1964 or whatever.
