He wrote home that he had married a woman named Anna TOOT, not just Anna.
And Anna Toot is not Stanley A. Dunham.
After Mary and her husband divorced, Joseph sold real estate in Clovis. He advertised properties under the name Joe Tout. His daughter, an actress, had an Amazon account in the name of Annette TOOT.
ANNA wasn't a Toutonghi, but somehow the abbreviated surname found it's way into that article in an African newspaper. One can easily assume that ANNA TOOT was a problem that needed to be dealt with when 'Dreams' was written.
And deal with it they did. In 'Dreams from my Father' you'll find they tried to name Stanley Ann Dunham ANNA and her mother Madelyn, TOOT.
But the tune still lingers. TOOT, TOUT, TOUTONGHI.
It remains a mystery. Why didn't the Kenyan name her? She was listed in the Honolulu Polk as ANN OBAMA anyway, and that was before she was banished to Seattle. Methinks it was ANNA'S FATHER who disapproved of the marriage and threatened to have the Kenyan thrown out of the university.
There was never any mention of Stanley Ann Dunham living in Seattle - rather, she had been accepted to attend the University of Chicago. Where Madelyn's brother, Charles T Payne was deputy director of the university library, and where he and his wife lived in Hyde Park...
