The First Boomer

Kathleen Casey-Kirschling made an appearance with Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue a couple of days ago. She was dubbed the first baby boomer to apply for Social Security benefits. Here is a background story on Ms. Casey-Kirschling in an old USA Today article. I hate to sound cynical (it's an occupational hazard) but something tells me that Ms. Casey-Kirschling has an agent or publicist. I have a hard time believing that the Social Security Administration would have sought her out.
