Perhaps some horseplay with some guy who did go to Georgetown Prep did happen to Ford at some point. Maybe she knew the guy’s name, maybe she didn’t. At some point probably very recently, she merged in her mind Brett K with that other nameless, probably faceless boy. One thing that hasn’t been discussed nearly enough is what a different era it was in the 1980s compared to now in terms of information. Ford and BK did not attend the same high school/ elementary school/ church, nor were they neighbors, etc. How exactly did she know who Brett Kavanaugh was? A friend of a friend supposedly? In 2018, everyone knows everything about everyone through Facebook etc. Back in 1982, when socializing with kids from other schools/churches/neighborhoods, you had pretty limited information (often just first names, sometimes not even that).
Excellent points and just what I’ve been thinking. I didn’t know any kids from other high schools. But mine was a co-ed public school. Maybe their two schools had joint functions because they were all-girl and all-boy schools. But that issue has not been raised to my knowledge.
I think it is a manufactured memory that maybe blends some real life incident(s) with a pure fantasy she concocted and that has become real to her.
