The text provides a definitive biography: born 1918, moved to Africa in 1936 and 1942. The 'current' status mentions a New York office and the city name 'Costermansville'. Costermansville was renamed Bukavu in 1953, providing a firm upper bound for the text. The subject appears to be in his early 30s, which aligns with a date around 1950 (1918 + 32).
