I may be the only person left who specifically remembers his birth. His parents are gone, his grandmother is gone, the obstetrician who delivered him is gone, said Nelson, referring to Dr. Rodney T. West, who died in February at the age of 98.
Yeah, the Punahou teacher who lied; since that Dr.West retired from delivering babies in, IIRC, the ‘50s.
And I STILL want to know how her father in Buffalo would have been interested in the name ... if he didn't know him. Just how did the kenyan arrive with a degree in Business Administration? He didn't achieve that in kenya, and putting Luo folktales into writing, as Elizabeth Mooney claims he did, would hardly quailify him to attend a university, he school he attended at Maseno was a high school/trade school that taught such useful items as tailoring and carpentry.
So he shows up in Hawaii in the same year (for the same semester?) as Neil Abercrombie and the student Barbara Nelson....
And an elderly doctor has lunch with her alone? He must have been at least twenty years older. Pull the other leg Barbara...
