Did Toots, want to lend an air of prestige to her daughter's birth announcement by supplying said address to the newspaper?
Was the address supplied by Toots and if so, was it a ruse?
Was the address taken from the certificate of live birth registration, and a mix-up occurred by Hawaiian officials when they supplied the address to the press?
Did a beat reporter get the address mixed up at the source; either at the bureau of vital statistics or the hospital?
Did the hospital provide an address through a mix up with another birth?
Final two part question, what's the answer and what's the motive?
I believe that Ann had a “shotgun wedding” and then discovered her husband was a rake willing to become involved with any number of co-eds.(The little tidbit Frank Marshall Davis wrote in his biography was the teaser, “...a Kenyan student split, leaving behind TWO pregnant blondes”) Her parents sent her to her mother’s friend in Seattle and the friend made arrangements for Ann to go to an unwed mother’s home in Vancouver where she would give birth and give the baby up for adoption. Her parents had made such a deal with her and told her she could attend UW afterwards.(which she had wanted to do anyway) Her high school friends at the time had already commented about the fact that if they encountered blacks while they were out they would cross the street to avoid them. The scandal of a white girl giving birth to a black baby would have driven Ann out of the area, while Vancouver B.C. was quite experienced in dealing with many different races and intermingling. Once Ann gave birth she changed her mind and asked her mother’s friend to come and get her. Arriving back in Seattle Ann phoned her parents and told them which prompted Madelyn to go register the birth (in 1961 the word of an immediate relative was sufficient to register a birth, unlike now when they ask for medical check-ups from before birth, well baby records etc.) Madelyn being the mortgage administrator at Bankoh knew of a safe address to use and her registration of birth generated the birth announcement. As some people have said it was a pretty long term conspiracy to register a birth and have a birth announcement in the paper. It was NEVER about a future run for the presidency, it was to “preserve her daughter’s honor” and lend legitimacy to the birth. In early 1963 Ann notified her parents she was coming back to HI and they rented the apartment for her at 110 1427 Alexander St. She once again moved in with her parents at the home at 2277 Kamehameha Ave when she registered to attend the spring 1963 semester at UH at Manoa. As I have said before Madelyn’s co-workers didn’t know she had a grandson until Jr arrived at the bank one day after he began attending Punahou. Grandpa was his companion and grandpa was the one who was instrumental in Jr attending Punahou. Grandma was simply the purse.
Also have you noticed that only one baby picture has been released and it wasn’t released until after Madelyn passed away. The picture is of a 6 to 8 month old, is a professional portrait with no one else in it. I suspect Ann had the picture taken to give to her parents for their anniversary. How many first time grandparents do you know who don’t take plenty of pictures of their first born grandchild? We have seen many photos of Jr after Ann returned to HI in 1963 but only the one baby picture and absolutely no infant pictures!
