Neville recalls that after he and his first wife separated, their young son was shuttled back and forth between them 'like a swinging door,' and his devout mother, worried about the boy's baptism, eventually took him to Barbados for a couple of years before his wife suddenly reclaimed him. He says that when the divorce was finally granted, he was awarded outright custody at the age of twelve, and offers this as background to why his mother pressed him to have the boy baptized.

Why
d0's preferred=1 delivery claim on the lecture is only a year-level circa claim, so it does not change the reasoning here regardless of which delivery-claim date is preferred.
Reasoning
He says he was granted outright custody 'at the age of twelve' referring to his son. The corpus already carries a certain, independently-sourced birth date for that son (hist_event 735, 1924-05-19). Twelve years old spans 1936-05-19 through the day before his 13th birthday, 1937-05-18, so the custody grant falls somewhere in that window; no single day is named.

Reasoning
The lecture carries 3 delivery claims. d0 (preferred=1) is only year-level, circa/probable ('six years after 1 Jan 1963' reasoning, no month/day). d1 and d2 both independently resolve to 1969-01-31 at exact/probable -- d1 from internal evidence (six years after Jan 1 1963, a newspaper ad due 'tomorrow, Saturday', and the linked catalogue event dated Saturday 1969-02-01, making the lecture the preceding Friday), d2 from the node's own recovered chrome dateline '1/31/69'. Two independently-sourced claims agreeing on the same exact date outrank the single preferred but coarser circa claim; 1969-01-31 is also a Friday, matching Neville's overwhelmingly Mon/Tue/Fri lecturing pattern.
