Okay, but extension courses didn't start until Sept., so I don't see what the big deal is.
Because it conflicts with his "legend" and book.
I didn't read his book, and I don't plan to. How exactly does it conflict? And why is the conflict important?
since he wasn't old enough to remember anything from 1961, I don't see how getting a few things wrong in those early years is in any way important.
It also doesn't make a lot of sense, it would have been much cheaper to stay in Hawaii.
It makes a lot of sense if Stanley wanted to get away from her new husband due to marital difficulties. It is already in the public domain their relationship was troubled by 1962. I don't find it all that hard to believe their troubles started a year earlier. Do you?
If she wanted to leave Honolulu in order to get away from her husband, Seattle would be the most logical place for her to go, given that she had support network there.
It conflicts because he and others have said that his father left his mother in Hawaii when he went off to Harvard. But we now know she wasn't there to be left. She was in Seattle, and had been for 10 months or so.
A man with a big ego doesn't write a book, two books actually, about himself without at least checking out a few facts, especially when as you say, of events he could have no personal knowledge of. All he had do was pick up the phone and call his grandmother. She had to know.
Thus he's probably concealing something behind that legend

Not at all. I tend to think the marriage, if it existed at all, was one of expediancy and that they never lived together as a couple.
