What was Obama’s grandother’s high status position in Hawaii? I hadn’t heard anything about that. Thanks.

As I recollect she had just become president of a bank. Just googled, and see my recollection is a bit off -- according to US Today:

Madelyn Dunham, Obama's grandmother, blazed a feminist trail in Hawaii banking circles in the late 1960s and early 1970s and rose to become one of the Bank of Hawaii's first female vice presidents

But that's the LATE sixties. Okay ...
