None of this adds up. But, aside from Hal, there seems to be a common link with work and travel in Asia, and The Ford Foundation. (Who financed Neil and Pake?)

Hal, Pake and Neil all had contact with Sr. outside of Hawaii, Hal in SF, Pake and Neil in Kenya. Apparently Sr. didn’t bring up SAD and Jr. during those meetings. Only Neil recalls SAD and Sr. together in Hawaii, and rarely saw SAD outside of the “snack bar” meetings.

Pake and Neil traveled through Africa and Asia, including a six-month stay in India in 1969.

Chester Gorman worked mostly in Southeast Asia, financed in part by The Ford Foundation. (Peter Gilpin is credited with photography in Gorman’s book.)

SAD was employed by The Ford Foundation in Jakarta.

Timothy’s father, Peter Geithner was with The Ford Foundation for 28 years, where he held program management positions mainly concerned with Asia. He was Director of Asia Programs from 1990 to 1996. Prior to assuming that position, he served for two and a half years as the Foundation’s first representative in Beijing, China. His earlier assignments with the Foundation included Program Officer in Charge, Developing Country Programs (New York), Representative for Southeast Asia (Bangkok), Deputy Head, Asia Pacific (New York), and Deputy Representative for India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka (New Delhi).

What someone really needs to ask is ? what is the relationship between Frank Marshel Davis, Neil, and SAD, and how they got to know each other.
Neil ? did you know Frank Marshel Davis ? come on now, you said you were all a part of some kind of freaky communist club of hippies smoking pot.... come on now, was Frank there with you guys ? and did Frank introduce you to SAD ?
