Thanks, your narrative is looking cohesive. Maybe just after Stanley got into Seattle she went right over to her old friends house. Makes international traveling sense -- what a weary travel -- Kenya to someplace in Europe, then to some east coast hub, then to Sea-Tac. Maybe more than a whole day of flying. The warmth and comfort of a dear friends house is well-sought, a need!

Wikipedia (cringe to use, but here's more spaghetti against the wall) says the follwoing about Sea-Tac of that time:

The runway was lengthened twice, first in 1959 to allow use by jets, and again in 1961 to handle increased traffic for the upcoming Century 21 World's Fair.

Had to put in the part about Sea Tac.

I suspect when we get the airline data, we won't see the trip as having been through Europe and the East Coast. If my memory is correct, Vancouver BC was the Commonwealth airline hub in Western North America--flights from all over the Empire arrived there.

And that fits with another reported girl friend interview that says Ann was out of the country when he was born--she remembers in Canada.
