...And last but NOT least, DID the two Honolulu newspapers PRINT 16,500 BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS IN 1961?....

Methinks not, and this point needs to be researched and go viral.

thanks...because IF we go by the VITAL STATS RECORD LIST being the basis of birth announcements in Hawaii in 1961, as told to ‘Lori Starfelt’ by the HDOH on the telephone, a MYTH she then perpetuated by posting on the teaxasdarlin blog...

then we have to assume that the parents had NO choice in the matter of the placement of announcements...and we have to assume that ALL of the 16,500 children born in Hawaii in 1961 DESERVED to have their births announced! And those who didn’t deserve an announcement had to be ‘weeded out’ by some process.

How was that done, on what basis?

Now imagine YOU wanted to place a birth announcement in either or both of the Honolulu newspapers in 1961. Pretend you are Dr Nordyke. You go to the newspaper office, ask for a form to complete for an announcement...and THEY tell you, ‘IT’S ALREADY BEEN ANNOUNCED FROM THE VITAL STAT RECORD’

AND IT DOESN’T APPEAR FOR ELEVEN DAYS!
