From the Puget Sound Business Journal, January '08:
"You can't turn on the television or go to dinner without hearing or seeing something about Barack Obama and his freight train run for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States. Republicans and Democrats are buzzing about Obama, although not always for the same reason.
Following it all closely is Susan Blake of Mercer Island, who went to Mercer Island High School with Obama's mother Stanley Ann Dunham, and graduated with her close friend in 1960.
'The day after we graduated, she (Stanley) and her mother were on an airplane to Hawaii, to join her father who had already found a home for them to live,' says Blake."
Stanley Armour Dunham went to Hawaii before Madelyn and Ann. That would explain his presence in what could be a welcoming photo for BO, Sr., and somewhat explain the muddled dates in the book of dreams.
thanks for pointing that out...it's interesting to note that Stanley Armour Dunham may have known Obama Sr an entire year before Stanley Ann graduated.
