Me too!
You need to work on reading comprehension and attention to detail.
He wrote: "at a time when trans-Pacific travel likely was at a speed half of today’s jets”. I read that he's saying that she was more likely to have flown on a prop job rather than a DC-8, 707 or Convair 880/990, and that if she did the flight would be longer in duration. It would also probably be cheaper.
Corsi neglected to mention what the transcript shows -- those courses that began Aug. 19. were "extension or correspondence courses." She didn't physically go to class -- which would make sense if she was caring for an infant.
"In 1955 the family moved to Seattle, Washington, where her father was a furniture salesman and her mother was a vice president of a bank. They lived in an apartment complex in the Wedgwood neighborhood where Ann attended Eckstein Junior High School.[12] In 1956 the family moved to Mercer Island, an Eastside suburb of Seattle, so that 13-year-old Ann could attend Mercer Island High School which had just opened."
"In 1960, after she graduated from high school, the Dunham family moved to Hawaii so that her parents could pursue further business opportunities in the new state, and she enrolled at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa. There she met Barack Obama, Sr., a student from Nyang’oma Kogelo in Kenya and the school's first African student, during a Russian language class.[13] She married him on February 2, 1961 in Maui"
"On August 4, 1961, at age 18, she gave birth to her first child, Barack Obama II.[17] Old friends in Washington State recall her visiting them with her new baby in 1961.[18][19][20][21] At some point, she gave her old friends the impression that she was on her way to visit her husband at Harvard (where he would not enroll until Fall of 1962).[22] By January 1962, she had enrolled at the University of Washington, and was living as a single mother in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle with her son, while her husband continued his studies in Hawaii."

Pan Am was a/the Major carrier to the Pacific and other worldwide destinations in the 50’s and 60’s These ads promote low fares to Hawaii, fast jet service etc..3 pages of ads page 2 has 60’s
The transcript shows classes from 8-19 to 12-12 for one class and to 12-11 for the Fall quarter and 12-27 to 3-15 and 3-20 for the Winter quarter classes. The different end dates suggest that the first is the first day of the semester for the quarter, but the second the day that particular class ended. Since the total time span for the Fall quarter is longer you may be correct, they may have started closer to mid September. The extension (probably night ) classes might run on a slightly different timeline than the regular classes, if they started that early they might skip Labor day week, and very likely skip Thanksgiving week too, so that classes meeting on differnent nights would still have the same number of weeks of class.
obumpa
I thought I was the only one left who still thinks that O was born in Vancouver, and that all the Kenya stuff is just a distraction.
Check out article, then see #52 for copy of Stanley Ann's transcript from the University of Washington, Seattle.
G'Nite all...
Extension courses...and she was enrolled as Stanley Ann Dunham, where-as the address in the Polk Directory has her as Anna Obama.
Now why would she do that? Didn’t have any ID to enroll as Anna Obama?
Was the address nothing more than a convenient mail-box?
Someone sent the course-work to her where-ever she was? And she returned it by mail?
Mary Toutighi says she baby-sat. She also says she didn’t vote for obama...no, no, no....
But here she is, someone snitched her sign...bwahhh!:
“I’d say it would be much easier getting there from Hawaii than it would be from Kenya.”
The flight length from Hawaii is twice as far as any single flight length from Kenya to the US..
What street address do you think Barry was born at?

“...Mary Toutonghi who now lives in Soldatna Alaska, (2) recalls Barack as ³a really alert baby, very happy and a good size². She does not remember him ever crying (although she adds she is sure he likely did but does not remember any undue fussing). She recalls as best she can the dates she baby sat Barack as her daughter was 18 months old and was born in July of 1959 and that would have placed the months of baby sitting Barack in January and February of 1962...”
And Obama Sr left Hawaii on the 22, June, 1962. He had the time and money to tour the mainland before attending Harvard.
“.... Obama graduated from the University of Hawaii in June 1962, earning his
degree in three years with a straight A average and Phi Betta Kappa honors. He left Hawaii on
June 22...
Maybe she got a govt welfare housing subsidy as Anna Obama and tuition money from mom&dad as Stanley Ann Dunham.
You have to look in the lower right, under Extension/Correspondence. There it shows she took two *extension* classes each in the Autum and Winter quarters. It shows her grades too. 3 A's and a B. The B was in "Modern Government" taken in the Autumn. The other courses were Anthropology (which carried the same number then as it does today) Logic (in the philosphy department, not math) and "History of Africa South"
Maybe....she wasn’t in the country...did you think of that?
Neither one of them US. Although I'm not sure of the arrangement within the Commonwealth at that time. Maybe he'd just be a Subject of the Queen, only one citizenship, British.
It's difficult to imagine how her parents would have found the money, either. They had just relocated to Hawaii a year before, one of the highest cost-of-living states in the Union, with all the expenses a move like that entails. Madelyn, the main breadwinner, had no college degree, and although she apparently had some years of experience in escrow, she wouldn't be promoted to VP of Bank of Hawaii until years later. The father was simply a furniture salesman.
So they were maintaining a residence in Hawaii, and also supporting a daughter and grandchild in Seattle? And paying out-of-state tuition, to boot?
Why?
The only President born in a hospital to have such a marker is Clinton, and that partially because the hospital later burnt to the ground, and was not rebuilt, at least not on that site. The other Presidents to be born in a hospital were Carter, and Bush 43. All the rest were not born in Hospitals, although many of the more notable ones do have a marker or even museum, at their birthplace. Ikes's is Dennison, Texas for example. Fords in Omaha. Both in houses.
That's why I find all the folderol about McCain being born in the hospital in Colon, Panama in 1936, to be well, BS.
The hospital I was born in 1949 had it's first birth in 1942, despite having been in existence since 1889, and the physical building being essentially the same layout by around 1930. McCain was the child of a mid grade officer, and grandchild of an admiral.. both on the same base. The doctor, and there was at least one Navy doctor at Coco Solo at the time, would have made a house call. :)
I agree, the COLB can't be accurate, Obama had to have been born earlier and not in Hawaii. Obama senior was already married, never lived with Stanley Dunham and never acknowledged having a wife and child. There is also no evidence of a marriage in Hawaii, though a copy of a divorce Stanley filed has been located. The official story can't be true.
