Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 040)
Reasoning
Sequential to the Penney firing described in the same passage (~1.5 years' employment after his 1922 arrival), then a Macy's stint of just under a year; no explicit year is given.

Reasoning
Neville recounts quitting Macy's 'after working there for a little less than a year' in passage 553450 during lecture nid=2124 ('Freedom!'). The passage itself gives only relative durations (a year and a half at J.C. Penney, then under a year at Macy's) with no absolute-year anchor, so it is dated to the lecture's own delivery year, 1968, per the preferred existing claim d0 (probable). Month/day are omitted: d0/d1 both give 1968-10-28, but that date was a Monday, while this same lecture's processing notes record an internal 'Friday-night session' hint (passage 553455) that contradicts it, and d1 separately carries its own title-mismatch caveat ('The Storm And The Calm' vs 'Freedom!') -- so the day-level precision is not trustworthy even though the year is. || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor417/8000-9999-b16, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 2124, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).
