Barack Obama Sr. to Tom Mboya, May 29, 1962, Tom Mboya Papers, Box 41, Hoover Institution Archives.
Do you know if anyone has ever sent for and posted BHO Sr’s U of HA records? Now that we’ve seen the letter he sent to Mboya about how quickly he finished his BA and MA—3 years- and received the highest academic honors it would be very interesting to see if his record lines up. It would be interesting to know what courses he took. And since you found the article where he said he hadn’t been in Kenya for 7 years when he was leaving Hawaii, it would be interesting to know just when he actually began his studies at U of HA.
