Thanks for posting this, Marylin. I actually have little or no memory of my life prior to around age 8 or so. And with regard to the few things I do recall, to a large extent, I'm not sure if I remember them because I actually remember them... or if I have a recollection of them because my parents told me about the incidents as I got older.

There are a couple of things I'm pretty sure I do actually recollect directly... because my parents would not have been likely to share them. All-in-all though, as I get older-&-older, more-&-more of my earlier years seem to fade. I only wish more of it would go...
