Evidence and limits

This is the advance itinerary notice. It does not by itself prove every planned stop occurred.

Sources

  1. Reports the three seniors leaving May 5 with Bud McDonough, planned Chicago sightseeing and a Detroit–Chicago White Sox doubleheader at Comiskey Park, box seats supplied by Lin. T. Rountree, and a planned Kenochi Air Base tour. It records an itinerary plan; the later June account of the trip is modeled separately.
