I've seen a few\npeople put a lot of work into this, but sadly I don't think it was ever\npublished.

My point was to\nsuggest that the Peter Pan cycle was locally eternal, but this may\nnot be supported by the text.\n\nOTOH, Schuyler's timeline for PEACE gives 1954 as the year \"Weer\nconsults Dr. Van Ness.\" Which is at odds with my chronology for\n\"Changeling,\" precisely by the ten year amount that Schuyler's\ntimeline is at variance with other PEACE timelines. Strange.\n\n\nTIMELINE\n 1931 -- Maria Palmieri born in Chicago; youngest US soldiers of\nKorean War born.\n 1932 -- Palmieris move to Cassonsville, where 8 year old Peter\nappears and warps reality around him.\n 1934 -- fourth grade class of 1944 born; narrator Pete born in\nCassonsville?\n 1939 -- Peter is Maria's twin brother.\n 1940 -- Paul Palmieri born in Cassonsville.\n 1944 -- fourth grade photo (in spring); Pete wrestles with Peter\nPalmieri over fate of a frog (and Pete had hit Maria with a\nrock); Pete and family leave Cassonsville (change names?) (in\nsummer).\n 1945 -- fire burned old newspapers.\n 1949 -- Pete's father dies in Buffalo.\n 1950-53 -- Korean War.\n 1953 -- POW exchange, Pete refuses and goes to China where he\nworks in a textile mill.\n\n [1954 -- in PEACE Weer consults Dr. Van Ness, according to Schuyler.]\n [1957 -- circa, Weer talks to Bill Batton; Eleanor Bold asks to\nplant a tree on his grave; he sees Charlie Turner]\n\n 1959 -- Pete back in US, faces court martial.\n 1964 -- out of US prison, Pete (changes name?) goes to\nCassonsville.\n\n [1969 -- circa, Sherry Gold dies; Weer has stroke]\n\n[Note: Schuyler's timeline for PEACE is in \"New York Review of\nScience Fiction No. 91,\" March 1996, p. 17]\n\n=mantis=" } ] } ] }
