NO, I think what we are getting at is the contention that the student in Sweden was somehow able to insert a full page of the Honolulu paper into the microfilm record. And I simply can’t buy that. It’s far more likely that some smart little wag was trying to muddy the record and send us on a wild-goose chase.
If the microfilm contained the birth notice, and it showed in both the Hawaii library and the Library of Congress, (If I’m reading that report correctly) then that’s where it was, scratches or not.
However - announcement or not, the sequence of events as I see them, caused the obliteration of the original Sunahara record, and required that a COLB be prepared for her to allow her to be buried as Virginia. When was her funeral?
Septemper 28, 1961.
Not into the microfilm record. Just a full-page image that was claimed to be a scan of the Advertiser page from microfilm. Shouldn’t have taken 5 minutes for somebody to go to one of the libraries and get an actual copy from the microfilm if it was actually there, but a guy from Europe has to triumphantly put a public document on WIKILEAKS?
The microfilms themselves show signs of tampering, including scratches that disappeare And fingerprints.
