Fred:
Study this letter.Do you notice anything odd about the dates?
The date for receiving her BA in Mathematics seems about right, considering the fact that she had a small child and was being courted and was back and forth to Indonesia in that period. But, then look at the MA? It says that she started the MA in the Fall of 1983 and received it in December of 1963 -- clearly impossible.
The PhD is even odder. It says she started it (presumably) in the Spring of 1984. Makes sense, if she'd just gotten her MA in 1983. (She divorced Soetoro in 1980) But then it says that she didnt finish until 1992. Was she enrolled in the UH for 8 years? Was she working at UH, or some place else?
THe dates in this letter are screwy -- especially the ones for the MA. And I've never heard of a school awarding a degree unless you spent the last year in residence. Maybe a PhD wher you go elsewhere to write your thesis, but not a BA or a MA.
just colour me confused, nothing makes sense.
