I should add that Stanley Ann graduated from Mercer Island HS at the end of June 1960. No boyfiends, refused to baby sit for extra money in HS, didn’t like kids, didn’t want to marry, just wanted a good education. She arrives in Hawaii in mid summer not knowing anyone except her parents. Daddy already knows FMC — a true chracter. Ann had spent her Senior Year hanging out in coffee houses in Seattle, so FMD must have seemed familiar — somewhat like the poets she met in Seattle. Except that FMD was black, a Communist, and had served jail time. He would have seemed very sophisticated and exciting. And his allure was softened by the fact that he had a white wife, thus removing some of the “danger” from his persona.
She enters UH at the end of September. She meets another black man — a true African — BO Sr in Russian class. She’s pregnant by the end of October.
Perhaps BO isn’t the father and just needs money that Anns parents can provide to save her “reputation”. Perhaps BO doesn’t even KNOW he isn’t the father.
June 1960 — graduates Mercer Is, doesn’t like boys, never dates
July — arrives in Hawaii knowing no one except her parents
September — enrolls in a class with Barack Obama
October — finds herself pregnant
November — disappears and doessn’t reappear until August 1961 with baby
And in the middle of the summer she’s getting to know her way around Honolulu. Later Frank Marshall Davis writes a pornographic novel about a black man and his white wife seducing an underage girl to provide her with an exciting sexual education. Truth, or fiction?
She’s never mentioned among Obama’s friends as being a regular at the parties where he is a regular. Only Abercrombie seems to remember her at all, and he has political reasons to say so now. Obama never mentions her, or the baby. Obama never asks about her.
Has anyone found any information on whether BO was full term. DId SADO go into labor early?
Wonder if she got drunk one night with Davis ???
That could have been his style...
She finds herself preggers without really knowing who the father is...
She may not have even known who the father might be until AFTER Jr was born...
Was she expecting a really black baby or even a really white one to appear ???
