Neil DID know Ann, though not as well as Barack. Ann was young and not as social as Barack. As a student at the University of Hawaii, I was acquainted (though not close) with both Neil and Barack, and knew Ann’s parents as they lived just down the street from e, though I didn’t know Ann. Neil is not just SAYING he knew Ann. He did.
Otherwise, your post is accurate and insightful.
Ann was registered at UW in extension courses from August 1961 until she actually attended classes in spring of 1962. She was still in WA state in fall of 1962.
Neil may have known Ann but I think he knew her more so after Obama Sr had left the island. He mentions he would often see Stanley and Jr walking in the area, while Ann was in classes. Which home were Madelyn and Stanley living in which you mention, the one on Kamehameha Ave or the one on University Ave.?
Somehow after all this time, I missed the fact that you knew Barack Sr. I apologize if you’ve answered this question already:
Did Barack Sr. ever mention to you, that he was married and had a son with Ann?
