Providing link to previous comment, how the author of ‘Dreams’ turned Stanley Ann Dunham into ANN and ANNA and Madelyn into TOOT:

From your much earlier comment, “t’s supposed to be an anecdote about something that happened in the sixties, and there it is, word for word in a book published in 1995, and it works magic. Stanley Ann Dunham becomes both Ann Obama listed in the Polk in Honolulu in 1961, and ANNA Obama listed in the Polk in Seattle in the same year.
TOOT is a bonus. That covers the story out of Kenya from 2004 that the kenyan student had written home to tell the clan he had married a woman in the US - named ANNA TOOT........
There had to have been more links of the Anna TOOT name connected to Obama for Ayers to have been required to insert this stupid pipe story into the book. Trails that existed in 1995 in the USA are long gone, yet the African letter surfaced a decade later.
Quite a clever writer’s trick, if it wasn’t so obvious.
