I just can’t see her traveling alone. I would thin that she would accompany SR to Kenya and return to the US with him.....She was a young wgirl with a new baby....She may have travel from the east to west coast alone, but not all the way from Africa....No Africa—England—East Coast and then onward by herself to WA or HI.

What is the closest airport to Harvard?

What is the closest airport to Harvard? Boston Logan, at least in terms of scheduled airline service.

I've been there and on the grounds of Harvard. My father in law attended Harvard as a grad student carrying 21 hours in a single semester, he didn't finish a degree, because he was there on program sponsored by his employer, who only gave him a single semester... and that was one of the semesters my wife and I were college freshmen ourselves.

My own trip to Boston was also sponsored by my employer. It was for the National Radar Conference, and I got there a couple of days early and went out to Lexington and Concord, including the rebuilt Old North Bridge "where once the embattled farmers stood and fired the shot heard 'round the world", saw the reproduction of the "tea ship" from which the Son's of Liberty threw tea into Boston Harbor, and also saw and walked the deck of the USS Constitution. All this on April 18th and 19th. In fact when I went into the Lexington Denny's for a late breakfast on April 19th, there were Red Coats in there, and more arrived while I was there, as did a few Colonial militia. :)

Why do you think she would not travel alone, especially by air?

In 1964 I was just in my teens and traveled by air around the world by myself. Pan Am flight 001 which started in San Francisco - Honolulu, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kolkata, Delhi, Beirut, Istanbul, Frankfurt, London, and finally New York. This took me two weeks because I stopped in various cities for a few days. I took a side trip from London to Copenhagen and Oslo then back to London to New York City for the Worlds Fair.

I flew Pan Am flight 001 and the return flight 002 (started in New York and flew the opposit direction stopping at the same cities ending in San Fran) from the U.S. to Bangkok from 1963 until 1969 every summer until I joined The Marines.

I think if you stayed on the aircraft the whole way it was a 45-48 hour flight!
