Blake recalls keeping in touch by mail. "She said she was in love with an African exchange student from Kenya, and in spring wrote to say she was marrying him, (the senior) Barack Obama. ... One day, after 'Barry' was born, she came for an afternoon, (on her way from Hawaii to join her husband at Harvard.)" Blake remembers "the infant. He was sweet and pink and very new." The two talked and cuddled the baby. "And I changed Barack Obama's diapers."
You posted “...in spring wrote to say she was marrying him...” which already puts a lie to the ‘official story that they married on Maui Feb.2,1961’. Spring is a well defined season in WA so Susan Blake wouldn’t make a mistake over when she received the letter. I wonder if Frank Marshall Davis ‘spilt the beans’ in his autobiography when he wrote of “a Kenyan student who split, leaving behind two pregnant blondes.” Could Ann in WA have learned of this and stayed in WA until she was sure Obama was no longer in HI? What was the postmark on the post card Blake received? Sure would be nice to know! Would a “Polk’s Seattle City Directory” for 1961 and 1962 show Ann as a resident? Where are the pictures of the infant? We see plenty of pictures of a toddler but none of an infant! Whose home address was used for the birth announcement? All these questions sure provide food for thought!
