So why did the Marshall’s divorce (circa ‘72) after the time that little Barry came back from Indonesia. Was it because a truth was exposed to the wife that Barry Steve Dunham was fathered by FMD?
Who paid for Barry Steve Dunham to attend Punahou? The Dunham’s reportedly didn’t have this cash.
Amusing theory. But given what's been reported about FMD's social life, the curious advent of little Barry would have been a minor factor, I would think.

Punahou's tuition was reportedly $17,800 in 2010, $16,675 in 2008, $15,725 in 2007, and $13,775 in 2005. I think your calculator will tell you it's been rising way faster than inflation. In fact, that's generally true of private education costs. E.g., tuition at the Bullis School in Potomac, MD was $14,000 in 1998 and $28,430 in 2008, about a 7.3% average yearly rise.
Reportedly, tuition at Punahou in 1979, the year Barry graduated, was $1990, and the Hawaii median family income was $22,750 that year. He got into Punahou with help from Gramps's boss, who was an alumnus. Reportedly, he was granted financial aid (haven't seen how much). Toot also worked. She was a bank vice president. They lived in a two-bedroom apartment in a high-rise. Their income was probably above the median and their expenses (save for young Barry) below it.
Also, Barry's years at Punahou were 1971 through 1979. If Mrs FMD's wealth had played a role, it would presumably have ended in 1972.
