Don't remember seeing this before, but my memory is not the best.

Thanks for sharing! Henry and Harvey went on yearly retreats.Can't remember if Edison was part of the yearly group but I think so.Others were selectively invited to join the group from year to year as I remember. It was kind of a "camping adventure" to discuss worldly affairs.

I am particularly struck by the lack of ostentation and overt self-importance so common now.

If you make it down to Ft. Myers, Florida be sure to visit the Edison Ford Museum. They have a documentary movie and lots of info about the annual visit these guys would plan. They have a T that was built to be one of their camping support vehicles. The 4th guy with Edison, Ford and Firestone was usually a naturalist author John Burroughs who was very famous for the time.
