...sending you excerpt from ‘Dreams’ freepmail, too long to post here, the only mention of Heidelberg I could find was when Auma flew to the US to visit, and that was when he was working in Chicago...he tells her he’s a community organizer.
It deliberately suggests this is their first meeting of course...his 1983 visit to Kenya MUST remain hidden.
Page 136-7: “The company promoted me to the position of financial writer. . . . Then one day, as I sat down at my computer to write an article on interest-rate swaps, something unexpected happened. Auma called. I had never met this half-sister; we had written only intermittently. I knew that she had left Kenya to study in Germany. . . . She was coming to the States . . . Could she come to see me IN NEW YORK? . . . Here’s the flight information [a “few weeks later]. . . . But two days before she was scheduled to arrive Auma called again. . . ‘I can’t come after all,’ she said. ‘One of our brothers, David . . . he’s been killed.’”
David supposedly died while Barry worked in NYC for the Business Intl. Corp., after graduating from Columbia, before moving to Chicago.
