Do you think he was born in Vancouver BC, then? What is your viewpoint of the Kenya place of birth - do you give any credence to that? Of course, if Hale produces something that documents that we will all know.
Given the amount of money which it would take to fly to Kenya and back and the fact that Ann would not have been able to have the needed immunizations I doubt the Kenya birth story. People keep focusing on that and don’t think of any other place where the birth could have taken place. People are also looking to Cambridge as a Port of Entry for Ann returning from Kenya with Jr but they fail to look at what is known. Sr’s main monetary sponsor for his schooling in the U.S., Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, wrote a letter to Tom Mboya in MAY 1962 asking if another sponsor could be found so Sr could attend graduate school, preferably at Harvard! Sr’s plans weren’t definite in May of 1962 let alone earlier in 1961!
I thought of something much simpler that also fits in with what usually occurred in situations such as Ann’s in 1961. The one story in Jr’s book which I do believe is actually true is the one when there was a huge fight during Sr’s visit to HI in 1971 which brought to light long buried resentments and recriminations all because Sr tried to act like a father and told Jr to turn the t.v. off and go study. Those resentments would be how Sr had acted in 1961 and they came boiling to the surface when he visited in 1971.
