McQuillan has a very distinctive face, and I'm pretty certain we've got him identified correctly. I withdraw my objection to having Kelly in the back row next to McQuillan. I think it may be someone other than Wait in the front row in the white cap and plain jacket; the face doesn't seem to me to be a good match.

By the way, I noticed in the newspaper accounts that Bob Harmon left Dawson Springs a day earlier than everyone else to take care of personal business at home, with plans to rejoin them in Hot Springs. That means either that the photo at the hotel was not taken just before the team left for Hot Springs, or that Harmon is misidentified in the photo. I'm inclined to think that the photo was taken earlier, but that the newspaper editor wanted it to seem up to date.
