Ish's Father Speculation

[nlowell]

Yes.

But Ish doesn't.

[annoyance]

I don't know if anyone else is thinking on the same line, but i wonder.,, Is Ish's father aware of him and his exploits(maybe he read the books).

[joshg]

Curse you Nate.

I just pulled up my archived audio of quarter share & double share to look up Ish's birth year and the divorce decree year (for both of which, after so many listens, I found the correct episode, within 5 minutes of the correct timestamp, on the first try) and now I'm sucked in to listening to the whole story over again.

By the way, thought you might be curious as to the eclectic nature of your listeners audio "reading".

In my alphabetical audio book archive (the small selection that I keep to listen to more than once) "Nathan Lowell" is sandwhiched between "Martin Luther" and "Oswald Chambers"

[nlowell]

Wow. I'm impressed.

And you're welcome

Ok Nate, I'm trying to think about the Father thing in, as Pip would say, "a crooked path".

My question is, does Ish's father know Ish exists?

Ok, nobody's commented on this idea in 4 months.  So I'm guessing I'm either on to something, or, more likely, it's such a dumb thought that it doesn't deserve comment.

I'm ok with that.

[nlowell]

Yes, Ish's father knows he exists.

And I *think* the answer to who is father is is in this thread. I think the reason there has been little action on this thread is that most people know now and don't comment.

[joshg]

Huh.  I'm still stumped.  Oh well, I'll find out next month!

I'm going to have to start re-listening to the rest of them so I can be fresh on them when Owner's Share drops.

So, I know Nate just answered this but I did the research today to prove it, and I can't let it go to waste. Ish's parents were married from March 3, 2325 to May 21, 2335, with Ish's birthday being August 1, 2333. So unless the circumstances were very unusual or Franklin Prescott Wang is not Ish's real father, neither of which seems to be the case from other dialog, then his father knows that Ish exists.

I think the real question is, does his father already know that Ish is in Diurnia?
