Timeline for the film & story
Jeff Wrangler:
Sorry I forgot my usual disclaimer about working from memory here at the office. ;) Maybe Annie does place their conversation two months after the Thresher disaster, which would place that particular conversation some time in June, as the Thresher went down April 10, 1963. Vide:

(Google is our friend. ... :laugh: )
As to the story, as opposed to the film, I'm sticking with my understanding of a May ascent, for the symmetry of the story's final confrontation taking place in May 1983.

Seems fair enough, but I don't have "the Scripture" here with me. Don't want to agree to anything that's contrary to Scripture-- :laugh: --but also recognizing that I've got a memory like Swiss cheese: Full of holes. ;D

Sure 'nuff. ;D
(And Lee's gone to bring the sheep down early, so she can't confirm anything. ;D )
