Note: Traber was described in 2002 by his daughter Carolyn as a "Renaissance man." She told me that early in his adult life he played clarinet in the Sells-Floto Circus Band. Later he played in the U.S.Navy band. He earned both a Bachelor's and a Masters Degree from Texas A&M with degrees in Entomology. He worked in that field all his life, spending the last 18 years of his career with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Morristown, N.J. An avid naturalist, he also was interested in history and professional sports.
