I’d like to add that the notion that anyone who lived in a home on Kamehameha Avenue in 1961 would willingly give that up in favor of an apartment on Alexander Street for any reason short of total financial collapse, i.e. bankruptcy, is laughable to the point of hysterics.
Who on earth would even try to peddle such a ludicrous tale? It’s pretty clear to me that Chief Engineer has the scenario pretty well assessed.
LOL Well obviously “The Honolulu Advertiser” is trying to peddle the ludicrous tale. They simply ran with the story and tried to figure it out as they wrote it, nice to have a birth announcement with an address on it and simply assume, but we all know the adage of the word “assume”. IMO the story which the paper published is laughable in the extreme trying to make a story fit what the journalists assumed! It’s getting almost too easy to debunk some of the stories which journalists print!
Maybe the Dunhams had a cash flow problem... they would have had to pay Barack Sr a pretty penny to pose as the father in order to shield their Commie friend Frank Marshall Davis from possible statutory rape charges and/or even greater FBI scrutiny...
