My mistake. I think it is a telephone listing of some kind.
Stanley Ann took extension courses at the University of Washington and was staying with a friend of her mother’s in Seattle. We must be clear about this thing. This move to Seattle was right after the baby was born. It must have been a tough thing to do in 1961. I can imagine the plane trip for a mother who we know had trouble changing diapers. As for monetary assistance, “Toots” Dunham had the financial ability being one of the highest banking officials in Hawaii.
I doubt Stanley Ann and baby Barack flew on a prop job from Kenya. You have to realize that Kenya was a destination vacation for British men going on African safaris. They would have gone on a British Airways De Havilland Comet 4B, which was a jet aircraft complete with stewardesses in skimpy uniforms. I believe the return flight went from Kenya to London and on to Vancouver BC over a polar route. From Vancouver BC, Stanley Ann and Baby Barack took a ferry to the docks on Mercer Island.
Anyone know why she went to Washington instead of going to college in Hawaii. Does this have something to do with the commie part of the family. How strong with the commie pull and just exactly what was she doing ..to go to Washington by herself with a newborn!
I am not sure Toots was so rich. there seems to conflicting information about tough times.
It is possible that the backers of Obama SR paid for this as I believe there is more to this than just a black man knocking up a woman. It doesn’t seem they ever had a marital relationship.
I think he got pulled into a charade.
I’m not familiar with what other airlines were flying. I just know that I flew from CA to Milwaukee in 1959. The United Airlines plane was a prop and it took all day (5 AM CA time to 8 PM Central — losing 2 hours, of course). Jets for domestic flights were rare during those years.
Skimpy uniforms? Are you sure that you are talking about 1961? Even passengers were expected to “dress up” for a flight in 1961. I remember a big flap caused by one of our domestic airlines in the mid-1970s — forgotten which airline — that gave away a pair of tickets to fly to some vacation spot and then denied boarding to the couple who showed up. The lucky ticket winners were dressed in jogging attire which airline officials deemed inappropriate.
I think that it is interesting that she is listed as “Anna Obama”. I’ve never heard any other reference to her using that version of her name.
