Thank you. That is probably the most common sense, down to earth, comment I have ever seen in connection with the question about the Polk Directories.
So to be shown in the 1961 Polk for Seattle, regardless of when the book was distributed, the people listed there-in were living in Seattle in 1960.
Thus it follows that Anna Obama left the university of Hawaii late in 1960 shortly after she enrolled in the Fall, had her child either in Hawaii or on the mainland and was living in Seattle at a time when Mary's daughter, who was born in 1959, was 18 months old. IN JANUARY 1961.
And that child would have been seven months old when Anna commenced at the U of WA, NIGHT CLASSES OR NOT.
Yes, makes sense.
