...The dates are a mess. Not to throw a new monkey wrench into the works, but is it possible that she was pregnant at 16 and was sent off to friends/relatives in Chicago to have the baby? Or at the very least, that she was pregnant earlier than they claimed, so they had to fudge the dates? Just wondering.

If the date of her birthday in November, 1942 is correct, and IF she was pregnant at 16, that would make it 1958...when she was supposedly at Mercer Island High School, and the kenyan student had not yet arrived in Hawaii, which arrival is dated June, 1959.

There is reference in 'Dreams' however, that in the summer (we assume 1958) when 'I was only 16 then' she worked as an au pair in Chicago. 'Au Pair' is just a fancy european word for Nanny.

But you are right, none of the dates add up.
