    Reasoning Neville places the encounter about twelve years before the telling. The lecture's own delivery date is unresolved between the two surviving candidate years: a probable floor bound of not-before 1970-01-01 (derived from its reference to the 1969 Vatican calendar reform as 'last year', node 1155) and the still-live 1971-03-08 catalog candidate (whose exact day is refuted by a Palm Sunday mismatch but whose year is not excluded). Twelve years before 1970 is 1958 and before 1971 is 1959, so the happening is written as a between-range rather than a single year. Confidence held to possible because it compounds Neville's own hedge ('maybe') with the still-unsettled lecture year.
