In 1961 at the time of BO’s birth - active physicians/nurses/administrators would have been approx. 25-40 years’ old. Today, 50 years later, they would be 75-90 years’ old.
Hard to believe they are all dead.
Even if dead by now, wouldn’t doctors have some records at their home? Wouldn’t their kids be interested enough to dig through the files just in case good ol’ dad delivered him?
Despite any gag order, you’d think that by now some nurse or night janitor at the hospital/s would have sneaked a peek at the records and told their hairdresser, who told their cousin, who told their dog walker, who told their neighbor, who told their mailman if the big O was born there. There are far too many sources where births are recorded - doctor’s notes, nurse’s notes, various hospital paperwork, hospital billing office, the county clerk, the state health department, and what about Ann’s prenatal care doctor/clinic records and all the baby/wedding showers her and Madelyn’s numberous friends should have thrown? I also find it strange that the Honolulu newspapers never kept the original issues of the birth announcement and that no one has ever found in their attic or their own baby book the newspaper page with their birth announcement along with Hussein’s listed as well. That brings up something else, I wonder if the black baby was such an embarrassment to the 1960s white Dunhams that he didn’t have a baby book or what is the reason there are no bun-in-the-oven pictures of Ann or hospital newborn pictures (again, not one of their friends has come forward with an Ann was pg story or an I changed the King’s diapers except Susan Blake in Seattle)?
