Neville's father, standing with Victor on fifty acres of undeveloped beachfront land owned by three sisters who did not want to sell, remarked it would be a good place for homes and hotels; when the sisters finally sold, the man who really wanted the property was in Brazil and Neville's father bought it.
Date (happened)

estimated · possible
Why
This dates the initial site identification, not the later purchase or hotel opening.
Reasoning
Neville's 1905 birth year places his literal teenage interval across 1918-1925 depending on birthday boundaries; the passage supplies no narrower year and the broad range preserves that uncertainty.
Told / reported
10 April 1968
stated · probable
Source
The event is narrated in passage 557088 of lecture node 4427, whose recovered source-header delivery claim is 1968-04-10 probable.
Reasoning
Passage 557088 is the direct witness for this event. Its parent lecture 4427 has an exact 10 April 1968 delivery claim at probable confidence from the recovered source header. This establishes when Neville told the story, not when his father acquired the land, so the claim is appended only to field_told and its confidence does not exceed the lecture claim.
2 December 1968
estimated
Reasoning
Passage 548669 belongs to nid 1911, independently dated 1968-12-02 by source-file and transcript-head datelines.
