This is HUGH.
Sure reads like an expected target list to me. Wayyyy too coincidental to be much else, given the cities and the mappings.
That's my impression and what I hoped the visual of the map would flush out for us.
But it's all educated/experienced conjecture.
Thank you! I was feeling very embarrassed after posting the same information over on TB later. There- I was told it was just a routine hiring list.
I ASSURE YOU IT IS NOT A ROUTINE LIST, FOLKS!
