Why
The husband's subsequent career rise across several mergers, described as unfolding 'in the fifteen years since', is the aftermath, not a separately dated event.
Reasoning
The friend's wife tells Neville this happened 'about fifteen years ago'; subtracted from the lecture's certain 1966-01-21 delivery date (agreeing catalogue and independent chrome-header witnesses), this places the imagining around 1951.
