Who is Charles Evans?
Archie and Florence (Krasne) Shapera welcomed Charles Shapera into the world on May 13, 1926 in Manhattan, New York, in the United States.
His father ran a prosperous dental office in Harlem. He had a sister named Alice and a younger brother named Robert. Charles’ father requested that his sons alter their last names to “Evan”—the maiden name of their paternal grandmother—when they were in their late teens.
(The name change was viewed as a gesture to respect her as she only had a limited amount of time left to live.) The “s” was added by Charles and Robert in honor of the Shapera family. In his adolescence, Charles was somewhat of a conformist.
