#1
My family has a myth that my parents met in college and fell in love instantly. My dad was tall and smart, and my mother was also tall and smart, with dark curly hair and an outgoing personality. They had three children: me, my brother Warren a yearandahalf later, then Kevin threeandahalf years after that.
#2
I had a very active childhood, with lots of music, movies, and sibling rivalry with my brother Warren. I was always trying to stay one step ahead of him, and I learned to ride my bike first. I was always interested in sociability, and I was always trying to get along with others.
#3
My parents were extremely close, and they always enjoyed being with each other more than they liked being with anyone else, including their children. They were profoundly antireligious and antiracial bigotry, and they never tolerated any of it in their house.
#4
I had what I needed to survive and thrive, which was given to me by my parents. They were loving, hardworking, and comfortably ambitious. They gave me what I needed to make the most of my talents and strengths, and they gave me what I needed to survive.
