At best she is speaking of hearsay second hand information.
At worst she is making it up. At least she named the place where he was supposedly born , there should be some sort of record there of the birth.
The rest of the story is just Puff. little substance and a lot of imagination.
I can only say it is BUSH’s fault. And this retiree’s story is a BOC!
If she was really his teacher at Punahou, that part of the story is not second-hand.
I believe that he really was born in Hawaii on the stated date. But I know that older well-meaning people often confabulate - their memories fail and they add in additional "facts" to improve on their stories. So there has to be something else to back up her story about the birth before people rely on her word.
