...trip by his parents as a reward for high marks. Also on board was Mrs. Meyer C. Ellenstein, wife of the Mayor of Newark, bound for St. Louis to visit a daughter. The plane's hostess was a neat, slight, dark girl of 22 named Nellie Granger. The chief pilot, Otto Ferguson, had been flying since the War. This was his 42nd birthday and his family had arranged a party for him at Kansas City...

Last week the Museum announced completion of the drawing...
