Neville recalls his poor birth, his mother's Goddard rebuke, and the family's business rise

Neville tells of being born into a large, very poor Barbados family with no background, and how his mother's rebuke "Have you forgotten that you are a Goddard?" so ingrained the name's importance that the Goddards became the island's outstanding business people with a family corporation grossing over $30 million a year.

    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-09-20.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 2085 (certain delivery 1968-09-20); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1968`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1968-09-20 on nid 2085 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
