[Fred Nerks]

I didn't dispute your proposition that she was enrolled in Autumn 1961--what I dispute is the proposition that she was enrolled in school in August 1961--she wasn't.

It was not my proposition. The dates came from the University of Washington. I do not recall proposing Stanley Ann was enrolled in school anywhere in August 1961.

My original question was: Where was Stanley Ann Dunham after summer 1960 until she arrived in Hawaii with an (approx) two-year old?

If the Susan Blake video answers part of that question for you, fine. I remain unconvinced that the interview was genuine.

Forgive me for appearing to be somewhat dense...I found your terminology re semesters and seasons difficult to follow. Actual dates (for an Aussie)are easier to understand.

Fred--as part of your analysis about where she was until 1963, you have her enrolled at the U of W in August of 1961.

Nothing in the communication from the U of W suggests that is a fact. And I did post the date--every time I have addressed the facts, I post the dates.

Fall quarter at the U of W starts in the last week of September or first week of October depending on the year--long after August. Washington is on a quarter system and the dates are way off the current national college calendar.

As to Ms. Blake, not only is the interview published in video and she looks and sounds credible, but there were follow on interviews published in news organs. And, as the post following yours suggests, she was a credible local person on Mercer Island who clearly knew Stanley Ann.

From my perspective, the only time line that fits all the known facts has a birth in Mombasa Kenya, followed by an urgent trip on BOAC through Vancouver BC to Hawaii (with a stop on Mercer Island).

When the real birth filing ultimately appears, I speculate that it will have his footprint on it implanted and attested in Honolulu for the reason that at the time, someone wanted to make some record that he was a Hawaii US person and citizen. In those days, the footprint was the test of the birth document.

If I get to speculate further, I would also guess that there is some obvious flaw in the filing that makes the actual birth in Kenya clear. Maybe they didn't understand the real statute on citizenship and thought that he made a citizen as a result of Stanley Ann's citizenship and Hawaii residence.
