That's correct.  Although it was 1969.   I just sent Dave the paper from the IEEE Annals of History of Computing:   1058-6180/15   [2015] Called 'The Production and Interpretation of APRANET Maps" by Fidler and Currie

The ARPAnet reached four nodes on this day in 1969 (anyone know their
names?); at least one "history" site reckoned the third node was connected

believe that perhaps there were only three left by then...

Hmmm...  According to my notes, the nodes were UCSB, UCLA, SRI, and Utah.
