Charles H. Traub, Born: Louisville, Kentucky April 6, 1945:
The question of how anyone understands his childhood is predicated upon an always-changing perspective because one's memory is faulty, and our childhood is so complicated, particularly seen with the layers of knowledge that we gain in retrospect. There are good and bad things and a great deal of gray. People tend to make their childhood into myths because they haven't a clue what it was all about. If you are a mature serious person, you will spend a good deal of your adult life analyzing how you grew up.
