Are you sure you could find a MSM journalist who could answer that question for himself/herself?
One gets the impression that the number one thing on Stanley’s mind in August after giving birth...is to put as many miles between her, the parents, and this ‘husband’. I would also suspect that she checked out of the hospital as quickly as possible...probably not completing the certificate in the first place...and packed up to leave. You have to put yourself in her shoes...going to Hawaii was not plan number one (she was always planning a Chicago-area college), and this Kenyan guy probably didn’t turn out to be the dream guy that she’d imagined. And she sat out all of the second semester in Hawaii (Jan-Jun)...which put her way behind on getting finished with college.
