Evidence limits

This is an invitation and proposal; it does not establish that the visit or lessons occurred.

Beaver Island Forum, “Gaelic on Beaver this July,” March 20–30, 2005.
The thread preserves Matthew Hall’s more detailed proposal to teach Irish language, history, and conversation, and later says his flights were booked and he was available from early June. This strengthens the evidence for planned participation but still does not prove that the lessons occurred.
