Note on the date: Date has been estimated based on a passage from Ellen Fairclough's memoir "Saturday's Child", pg 163, where she says she presented Diefenbaker with a table reputed to have been used by Sir John A. MacDonald, and gave it a plaque describing its history. She says that he was "delighted with it. He called in reporters and cameramen, who took pictures and lsiten to his anecdotes about Sir John" (Saturday's Child, pg 163).
