There is some evidence she went to Chicago, her maternal uncle lived there, of course Chicago was a hotbed of commies and several from there went to HI, before it was a state, to commiefy it. FMD was one, there were others. I remember some things about her uncle but the details are vague and I don’t want to say anything that is not accurate.
At any rate, no evidence of her finishing high school in Mercer Island, nor going to HI right after. None.
