They met in the railway car Roald Amundsen in the Rome Yard track at Ogdensburg, while the sun beat down unmercifully outside. Only Secretary of War Stimson witnessed the meeting.

He told a class of graduating nurses what had happened when he visited a similar institution at Ogdensburg, N. Y. An old man mowing the lawn, said the President, "took off his hat very politely. After I had passed, I heard the family, who were looking back, roar with laughter. I turned and there was the old gent thumbing his nose at me." While the nurses chuckled...
