Although this menu has the same April, 1971 date as yesterday’s, the table d’hôte offerings are salmon, chicken, and beef, rather than trout, turkey, and veal. They also come with whipped, not baked, potatoes. The price of the salmon has increased by a nickel, to $3.95 (about $23 today), from the July, 1970, Jackson Lake menu, which offered salmon, turkey, or ham.
