the information I quoted from THE OBAMA FILE re Stanley Ann Dunham was sourced from the Chicago Tribune, the link is no longer extant. I believe most of the Chicago Tribune articles re Dunham have been removed.

“...She spent her high school years on a small island in Washington, taking advanced classes in philosophy and visiting coffee shops in Seattle. “She was a very intelligent, quiet girl, interested in her friendships and current events,” remembers Maxine Box, a close high school friend. Both girls assumed they would go to college and pursue careers. “She wasn’t particularly interested in children or in getting married,” Box says.

Dunham wrote to Maxine Box: “Remember me when you are old and gray. Love & Luck, Stanley.” Seemingly out of the blue, her father had found a better opportunity — another furniture store, this one in Hawaii. “He just couldn’t settle,” Box recalled...”


You were correct about that 1959 date caption with the year-book photograph being wrong - this article makes it clear the year was 1960.
