Thanks for the info, GVnana. I've always questioned the reliability of that birth announcement.
I worked in the newspaper business for twenty years and know that you can have just about anything published in a newspaper if you're willing to pay the line rates. To the newspaper, birth notices, wedding announcements, classified ads, etc., are all considered nothing more than revenue enhancers.
Yep. For the life of me, I don’t know why anyone takes that announcement so seriously. I figure grandma placed the announcement so little Barack could go to school.
