Baby boomers get connected with Facebook

With nine siblings, Catherine Biebel, 50, doesn’t always have the time to keep tabs on everyone with a phone call or visit. But the Carol Stream resident is still able to have impromptu family reunions almost every day. They just happen to be on Facebook instead of face-to-face. Biebel is one of many in the 50-and-older crowd who are becoming the fastest growing group of Facebook users, according to a study by AARP.
