Last survivor of "Dillingham Commission"[edit]

Probably not hugely relevant, but given the enduring importance of that early-20th-century immigration commission, it seems worth noting at least in passing that he was the final survivor and was able to provide first-hand discussions of the goings-on a half century after the fact. 174.31.154.235 (talk) 05:48, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
