* Exact date not verified from passport or other records.
** One day trip back to Boston during this period for a meeting.
There were so many trips that they are hard to recall. I have relied on the
passports which I kept, and my computer files, which are recent, and also
on financial records kept by the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
There are several possible sources of omissions: (1) trips to Canada, Mexico,
and the British Virgin Islands which don't require a passport, (2) the Soviet
Union rarely stamps passports, so my record of trips there and to other
places at the time is from memory, (3) a missing passport because it was in a
stolen jacket probably in 1972, since the replacement was issued in July 1972.
There were three trips to the British Virgin Islands in the 1970s, of which I
have no record, to visit Prof. Edward Fredkin of MIT and to attend a Board of
Directors meeting of Information International, Inc. I also recall attending
the World's Fair in Montreal in the l960s, whenever it was. There have also
been various trip to Mexican border towns of Tijuana, Juarez, and Matadero.
