Thanks for the additional information. The part about the library was not true. You know how the Internet is with rumors. They travel fast and become entrenched.
I’m happy to let it go at that. I’m still sceptical that an entire class could all lose their yearbooks, but it’s not important. The America-hating foreign-born backstabber is out of office and Trump is in. Things are looking up.
Toutonghi used to baby-sit President Obama when she was neighbors with his mother.
Toutonghi was living in Seattle at the time, in the early 1960s. Her husband was going to school at Seattle University, and she was a stay-at-home mom with their 18-month-old daughter.
They lived in a three-story house that had been converted into three inexpensive apartments. Toutonghi and her family lived in the basement apartment, and Ann Dunham — Obama’s mother — lived in the apartment directly upstairs.
“It was a tough situation, as far as I knew,” she said. “She was 19, she’d promised her parents that she was going to finish college, even through she’d married. I’m presuming her parents were paying for the schooling — nobody had any money at the time.”

That's just for the record, TWICE, the babysitter seems to have told an interviewer her daughter, (Gabrielle Marie) was 18 months of age at the time. Later, a freeper showed the birthdate of Mary's daughter. It was in July, 1959. And if one adds 18 months to July, 1959, the answer to when the babysitting took place, is January, 1961. Both Charlette Le Fevre, who found the original entry for ANNA OBAMA, and the Redoubt Reporter, assume ANNA OBAMA was Stanley Ann Dunham, however, had they enquired a little more about the age and birth date of Mary's daughter, they would have realised that Stanley Ann Dunham would hardly have had a child for Mary to babysit in JANUARY 1961. THAT child would have been conceived nine months earlier in MAY 1960.
I'm posting that purely for the record. Feel free to check the dates.
