Maybe they never let their parents know they were living together at the time (1969), & then later they didn't want to reveal this to the various moms & dads because it would have made them appear untrustworthy or something. "Dad, Lindsey & I lied to you about when we actually lived together." On a separate but slightly related note, I don't think the very conservative Nickses & Buckinghams would have cared to hear about abortions & drug use in the old days, either, which might explain why stories about those activities have been so vague & sometimes contradictory in the past. Even when you're rich & famous & middle-aged, to some extent you're still daddy's little girl or mommy's little boy -- all the more so in tightly knit families like those. I smoked a hash pipe once in college. That was a long time ago, but I have no reason to tell my parents, nor would I care to, even though it wouldn't be a big deal.
But now with three of the four parents dead, maybe they figure no one's around to care anymore.
