"Actually, Stanley Dunham existed. Last time I saw her (which was the first time) she was at a party being held by A. Schmidgall-Tellings. The attendees were mostly associated with anti-Sukarno forces in Indonesia. Plenty of former Dutch colonial bureaucrats, etc. There's really no reason to doubt she existed. At the same time I would expect the CIA front story for her probably can't withstand stiff internet scrutiny..."

It makes sense. Schmidgall-Tellings co-wrote a definitive Indonesian/English dictionary: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/356313.A_Comprehensive_Indonesian_English_Dictionary
“Using an array of primary and secondary sources, from the classical language to the most recent slang, Alan M. Stevens has completed the work he and the late A. Ed. Schmidgall-Tellings began two decades ago. Tens of thousands of new entries bring meaning and understanding to changes in technology, culture, politics, and lifestyle. Included as well is the language of government, the law, and banking, with thousands of accounting, tax, and legal terms. Technical terms in all fields, including petroleum, steel, engineering, geology, chemistry, mining, medical, and shipping, make A Comprehensive Indonesian-English Dictionary of international usefulness.”
Just the kind of guy she would have known, especially given that she was teaching Bahasa Indonesian to ex-pats while in Jakarta. Her “son”, of course, she was giving ENGLISH lessons every morning, according to his own book.
