Mrs. Nelson was an English teacher at Punahou. I remember having her in the Academy (the high school part of Punahou). I graduated a few years before Obama was there.
I am not doubting she was an English teacher at Punahou, the article even states that, what I am questioning is her following the “official story line” when she says that Obama Sr had not seen Jr in eight years when he appeared at Punahou in 1971 for the presentation on Kenya. Ann and Jr left HI and were in WA state from August 1961 until early 1963. Obama Sr left HI on June 22, 1962 and headed on a U.S. tour before going to Harvard in fall 1962. Many people have fallen into the same “trap” if you will by following the story as Jr wrote it instead of doing the research. There are many spots on the internet where you will find it mentioned that Obama Sr left HI in 1963 instead of saying he left HI in 1962. Leaving in 1962, even if Ann and Jr were still there would still mean Jr was less than a year old when Obama Sr left HI!
