He can't be Mark standing with his father and Ruth and be five years old in 1966, and then show up as Mark sitting next to zero in 1961, when he was born a year after Ruth arrived in Kenya in 1964.
That dark child isn't Mark, and the lighter child is zero, so the dark child was born a few months before zero, in 1961.
I'm going to leave it there. It's not worth the trouble.
So Mark never claimed he was five yrs old in ‘66? Or do you have a link to the actual quote?
