[Vision2020] Mitch Miller

[Ted Moffett]

Mitch Miller's TV show "Sing Along With Mitch" ran from 1961-66 (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Miller ), and I do recall watching it
during those years.  Someone born in 1961 could have viewed his show when
4-5 years old and now be only 49.  If someone saw his show in 1966 when they
were 10, they could now be 54, by today's standards still qualifying as
"middle aged."  Of course lifespan varies considerably, so someone who will
live to 90 might for practical purposes be "middle aged" till they are 70,
while someone who will die at 70 might be for practical purposes entering
"old age" at 50.

>From website above:

*Middle age* is the time of life between
youth<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth>and old age, usually thought
of as being between forty and sixty.
