First-person dated birthday statement
Writing under the full byline Christopher Allen-Doucot on original page 4, the author states that January 3, 2008 was his fortieth birthday, celebrated at his mother-in-law Genevieve “Mickey” Allen’s bedside. This directly dated birthday statement establishes January 3, 1968 by subtracting forty years; it is not an estimate from an age at an unspecified report date. Pages 5–6 describe his separate actual Morgan Street jail detention with Allen during the first Clinton inauguration, distinct from the currently recorded 2006 Groton protest. The later time-served trial date and actual earlier discharge are not printed, so no duration or final-release day is calculated.
2006 detention evidence and its limits
The Easter 2006 Hartford Catholic Worker identifies Steve Kobasa, Chris and Mickey Allen among those arrested while praying in the road outside the Naval Submarine Base in Groton during the Good Friday Stations of the Cross witness against torture. The masthead names Christopher Allen-Doucot in the same Hartford community, linking the abbreviated Chris to the existing profile. The page 9 continuation explicitly says their disorderly-conduct charges were later dismissed. This supplies the later disposition missing from the earlier Nuclear Resister report. April 14, 2006 is the calendar identification of the explicitly named Good Friday 2006 event, not a separately printed numeric booking date. The newsletter gives no jail-entry day, physical-release day or actual length of custody; no sentence or served total is inferred. This episode is distinct from the earlier 1993 Hartford detention.

The June 1993 Hartford Catholic Worker reports a later court appearance for the January 20, 1993 symbolic chaining of the federal building in protest of the bombing of Iraq. Chris Allen-Doucot and the co-defendant declined to plead guilty to disturbing the peace, accepted no-contest pleas to creating a public disturbance, and were sentenced to time served for their day in court. The report does not give the court date or establish a longer jail term.
