I’ve been saying ‘she could have been anywhere’ for at least a year, and it fell on deaf ears, but better late than never!
Instead of trying to provide answers, perhaps one should ask questions:
1. What evidence is there Stanley Ann Dunham graduated from Mercer Island in 1960? By evidence, I mean something other than well scripted stories from schoolfriends and a video by a couple of her teachers - all without ever actually showing a dated page from a yearbook?
2. What evidence, other than Neil Abercrombie’s word, is there that she was ever in Hawaii?
3. Why would we assume that the Ann Obama who is shown as a tenant at the rear of the birth announcement address, which the Dunhams were renting, is the same person as Stanley Ann Dunham?
4. How can we know if the Hawaii University enrollment from 1960 is actually related to Stanley Ann Dunham, and not Ann Obama who lived at the rear of the house the Dunham’s were renting? We have not seen a transcript, just a letter written by someone who assumed that Ann Obama and Stanley Ann Dunham were the same person.
Barack Obama's mother, Stanley Anne Dunham, was a 1960 graduate of Mercer Island High School. This is her yearbook photo as treasurer and historian of the Girls' Club.
Stanley Anne Dunham from her senior picture in the 1960 Mercer Island High School yearbook, the "Isla." Dunham's reference to the "Yirka movement" was a movement she and her friends made up and joked about. The "movement" would be a group of people living freely.
