I do not believe the Salvation Army home for unwed mothers in Honolulu [the existence of which I was unaware] was still operating in 1961. This is because with all the research that has been done into Obama’s birthplace, it has never been mentioned as a third possibility. The only two HI institutions ever mentioned are the two hospitals.
However, I have put in a request for information with the Salvation Army’s contact person re the operation of the home in Honolulu. The initial reply was that she did not know the exact years of operation of this particular Home, and could not verify that it was or was not still receiving patients in 1961. If additional information becomes available, I will post it on this thread.
“I do not believe the Salvation Army home for unwed mothers in Honolulu [the existence of which I was unaware] was still operating in 1961.”
The Honolulu Advertiser has ads for “ANY girl In need of a friend, write or call Supt. Salvation Army Booth Memorial Home 1002 20th Ave. Ph. 73-275” in the February 2, 1962 and the April 20, 1962 editions.
“The only two HI institutions ever mentioned are the two hospitals.”
Why does no one mention the Kaiser Foundation Hospital where Bruce Henderson was born in August, 1961 or the Kuakini Hospital where James Gravely was born in June, 1961?
