Arnold Rampersad wrote an amazing biography of Ellison. I got to meet him once and we talked briefly about the lightbulbs.
Later, reading the biography I began to calculate numbers again. Ralph's father, Lewis Alfred Ellison, was born in 1877. If you use the 1914 date of Ralph's birth, then Ellison's father was probably 37 when Ralph was born.
One last bit. Clue 9.
