You mean the wedding ring he might be wearing as a result of a marriage we can’t be certain took place in Kenya, or a wedding ring from his marriage to the woman he says he was separated from, and she was living in the Philippines?
Or the girl named Ann he’s sitting beside at the Nachmannofs?
I just found a new letter from the CAMBODIANA ARCHIVE:

Hi all,
I am writing because I reckon that, as the world salutes this new special President Obama, you and I are smiling with a feeling of special connectedness with him. We all converged on Honolulu a month after he was born there (no, not in a manger!) and knew—well or in passing—his father, though most of us then had no idea there was a baby. I wanted to write to all of you simply to say how thrilling a moment this is and how for us it’s not Chicago or Jakarta that the new President brings to mind but Honolulu, where—for all of us in this email—so much began.
I’m sure we are all thinking about people we wish were here: my sister Nita and I think especially of Daddy, two uncles and an old family friend who would so much enjoy this election. All of us in this email will think of departed friends such as Ojha, Teramura, Kitaichi, Salome Kim, and Lorraine Yuan who would deeply appreciate this moment.
Dan and I in Beijing have managed to stay on top of this endless campaign (though obviously we didn’t have the full array of info that those of you in the US did)—and, thanks to CNN, we were caught up in Election Night results, though for us they came on Wednesday morning.
Before long, we’ll be as hard-headed and steely-eyed in our judgment of President Obama as we’ve been of all US presidents but, for this moment, let’s toast him and America and Barack the Elder—and that bit of Honolulu that resides in all of us.
All the best,
Lois
THEY DIDN’T KNOW THERE WAS A BABY LOL!

The writer, Lois Dougan, sounds like she is referring to an entering class of students at the East-West Center who “converged on Honolulu a month after he (Barry) was born there” and who knew BHO Sr but had zero knowledge of any baby or even any marriage to SADO or the alternate “Anne/Anna”.
One month after he was born would be about Sept. 4, 1961 when numerous corroborating documents and witness statements confirm that Stanley Ann and baby Barry were both already in Seattle (unless all faked including FOIA docs, U of HI and U of WA transcripts and confirmations, friends of SADO, Polk).
