"Tom,
Of course not!
You clearly figured the timing and events of the Land Swap out a few weeks back.
You just need to learn how to post pics and diagrams on here so the rest of us catch on quicker! . D)"

That is not the Immaculate realization/Revelation I'm talking about. I'm talking about how I have virtually PROVEN in post #292 that it wasn't even the Ardmore site that Macdonald and Whigam were on that day in June 1910; it was the alternative site the MCC Search Committee with Lesley as its chairman that MCC had been looking at along with the Ardmore site (and which Lesley apparently purchased 130 acres of in 1909), and that is why we must now CONCLUDE and CONTEND (hopefully in an "In My Opinion" piece essay on here) that today's Philadelphia Country Club's routing and design was from Macdonald and Whigam and THEY are the driving force behind its architecture and certainly not that little tranplanted Milton, Massachussets Schmooo William Flynn!
Matter of fact, today's MCC historian tells me he remembers seeing a letter from Lloyd to Lesley somewhere around the middle of 1910, that, among other things, says something to this effect;
"Robert;
Do you really want to compete with ME and what I'm doing at the Ardmore site with that alernative site overlooking the Schuykill River where you've bought land? If you do want to compete with me I think you know damn good and well that via my financial power and influence I will bury your skinny and sorry little light-hitting ass; I'll break you totally so you can no longer show your face in polite society and I might even sell your wife and children into slavery on the Barbary Coast?
Your fellow MCC member, Search Committee fellow member and your dear friend,
Horatio"
