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.
but what if instead she was the sister, pushed into allowing the family to raise this kid and save face for Madelyn, by becoming the “mother” of Stan Dunham's bastard son? Madelyn's “grandson”, her daughter “married” to an exotic African exchange student to preserve the family "honor", and shuffled off to Washington State 2 weeks after his birth to avoid prying eyes and questions, no less
And little Barry sent “home” to Hawaii from Indonesia at age 10 .... to be raised by his “grandparents”
No wonder Frank Marshall Davis who shared whiskey, porn, marxist pipe dreams and whores in the honolulu red light district with Stan Dunham, so often stared at little Barry Sutoro with his drunken rheumy eyes.
I think Cashill alludes to other possibilities of the parentage of “Barry Dunham”
In 1961, virtually all births were done under anesthesia. “Natural child birth” became the norm some years later. Mothers, typically, spent a full week recuperating IN the hospital.
It was also a lot easier in 1961 to give any information the family wanted to be entered on the birth certificate, i.e., husband. A friend of mine gave birth to a child out of wedlock in the late 60s and the ‘sperm donor’ was listed as father. No one questioned the entry.
