WASHINGTON — A Christmas gift from the Obama family to a close friend in Chicago's south suburbs missed its mark by about 65 miles this week, but the unintended recipient said she turned it over to a U.S. postal official Thursday and it was delivered to the rightful owner.
Eleanor “Kaye” Wilson of Olympia Fields, the godmother to Malia and Sasha Obama who is known to the family as “Mama Kaye,” told the Tribune that she was supposed to get the gift, a book of Obama family photos, but there was a “mix-up.” The gift was delivered instead to Alane Eklund Church, who lives in north suburban Wadsworth.
