          "text": "Another nail in the coffin of \"Den birth year = 1920\" is the fact that YEAR\nOF EGG HUNT = \"height of China's warlord period\" (which means after 1916\nand before, oh, I don't know, say Chang Kai-shek's consolidation in 1926).\nSince YEH = Den at 9 years of age, then this would make YEH = 1929, and\nthat is hard to see as being in the warlord period (in 1928 Chiang Kai-shek\ncaptured Peiking, was elected President of China).\n\nEZ has YEH = 1923, which is certainly within the range.\n\nNow then, on to the promised year of 1928.\n\nRoy and I are driving ourselves crazy, but I believe the mantra of EZ\nshould be \"keep it easy; believe what the text says\" <g>.  We keep shying\naway from believing that Olivia may have died in the same year that Lou\nGold left Germany (1928), because this would mean that Den was only 13 to\n14, and that seems too young for our usual range of 20 (based on GOLD HUNT\nfigures) or 25 (based on the Chinese Garden Dream).\n\n1923 : YEH\n1924 : Olivia marries Julius in Spring; Den is 10\n1925 : Den living with the Smarts; Den is 11\n1926 : Den living with the Smarts; Den is 12; sees Olivia in bath (180)\n1927 : parents return from Europe; Den is 13\n1928 : Olivia killed; Den is 13/14 when she dies\n1929 : Den is in Tenth Grade\n1930 : Den is in Eleventh Grade\n1931 : Den is in Twelfth Grade; picnic with Margaret\n\n\nNext problem would be placing the GOLD HUNT, but there doesn't seem to be\nmuch problem, since Gold Thread (1928 + 25 = 1953) and bobbysoxer (1953),\nand Philips farm (30 + 9 = 39 years old for Den) and Olivia's funeral (14 +\n25 = 39 years old for Den) . . .\n\n1953 : GOLD HUNT; Den is 39\n1954 : poor man Den is 40 (Dr. V seeming range of Den's age 40 to 45)\n1955\n1956\n1957\n1958 : earliest point for THREE VISITORS Den (44)\n1959 : Den is 45 (Dr. V's range of 40 to 45)\n1960\n1961\n1962\n1963 : Den is 49; Crazy Pete on Island; last point for THREE VISITORS\n1964 : Den is 50; Dan French gives him the box\n\nNew tag: THREE VISITORS = the day when new president Den is visited by Bill\nBatton, Eleanor and her elm, and Charles Turner the dogman (eek, shades of\n\"three kings\": or is it more like \"A Christmas Carol,\" where Batton =\nPresent, Elm = Future, and Dogman = Past?)\n\nWell, Olivia's death seems to lock in!  Further angles down the timeline\nneed to be examined, of course.\n\nAnother triumph for EZ!\n\n=mantis="
