Having read the notice from Jr and Maya about the death of their grandmother I am beginning to wonder if perhaps Stanley and Madelyn went to Hawaii in 1959 leaving Ann behind to finish school before she joined them. If so she could have stayed with her mother’s friend and very possibly gotten pregnant then. We do know she attended U of H for the one semester before she simply vanished off the face of the earth so where was she between the time the semester ended and she showed up on Mercer Island with Jr? Her friend Susan Blake gave the time frame of the end of August 1961 when she visited with the baby so where was she before then? There was no mention of the presence of a cord and yet Ann didn’t know how to change a diaper. It is quite possible that she gave birth in Mombassa, Kenya and stopped at Mercer Island to register at U of W then stayed with her mother’s friend until she found a place to live. I personally do not think she went to Hawaii after the birth of Jr. until 1963 because of the absence of any baby pictures. I believe her mother took care of the registration of birth and accompanying paperwork. Susan Blake mentioned the receipt of a postcard prior to Ann’s visit so it sure would be nice to know the postmark on that postcard! Ann’s plan had been to work, take care of the baby and go to school before joining Sr in Boston, and yet we have testimony from one of her high school friend’s that she was depressed because she couldn’t find a job. This brings up yet another question as to why she couldn’t find a job since the World’s Fair began in April, 1962 in Seattle. Was the “kenyan student who split, leaving two pregnant blondes behind..” that Frank Davis Marshall spoke of Obama Sr., and was this the reason behind the split once Ann found out? From what I have found out I am left with many more questions than answers as I am sure others are as well. I doubt we will get definitive answers for any of our questions with the constant scrubbing of internet sites and the deaths of principles. This has been one of the most frustrating searches I have ever participated in!
Thanks, Chief Engineer.

MHT, I’d like to see the photo, too. I’ve always thought Clinton’s father was a Rockefeller. A freeper friend who’s on The List has tried for several years to convince me otherwise.
