Not that it really matters, but the first Baby Boomer is said to be a woman by the name of Kathleen Casey-Kirschling, born one second after midnight on January 1, 1946, in Philadelphia, Penn. She weighed seven pounds, five ounces, at birth. She married in 1966, had two daughters and earned her living as a 7th grade school teacher. She divorced in 1985 but has since remarried. Currently, she lives in Cherry Hill, N.J., near her two daughters and five grandchildren.
