Sylvia Shanahan was born in 1955, in Akron, Ohio, smack dab in the middle of the Baby Boomer era. As she puts it, "This makes me not so special, but more indicative of my generation. For example, the middle of a loaf of Wonder bread isn’t the heel or the smaller pieces near the ends. It’s the best of the loaf, the model, the exemplary piece. According to the US government, I was one of 4,047,295 “slices” born that year, so like I said, I’m “indicative not special.”
