The correspondence courses she took from the University of Washington would have allowed her to be anywhere. It doesn’t make sense she would be in Seattle when she could physically attend the university but did not do so.

I have twice seen you mention that Stanley Ann Dunham took correspondence courses from the University of Washington, yet I distinctly recall reading (over a year ago) an analysis of her UW documents that demonstrated they WERE NOT correspondence courses, but were courses which required actual attendance at the University.

Do you have any information which demonstrates that they ARE correspondence courses? Also, there is the testimony of her friends that she was there in Washington, as well as the Polk directory, and some other bits and pieces. To my understanding it has been pretty well established that she was in NorthWest Washington in August of 1961.

“To my understanding it has been pretty well established that she was in NorthWest Washington in August of 1961.”

I agree. There is a computer generated roll-up summation line on her UW transcript which includes extension courses (WND says this includes night and self-study courses), AP courses (if any) and correspondence courses (if any). In SDAO’s case, only the total “extension courses” explicitly subtotaled are included, and there are NO enumerated AP or correspondence courses listed or subtotaled.

“The University of Washington registrar's office told WND that the extension courses on Ann Dunham’s transcript most likely involved a combination of self-study and night classes taken on the university campus.

“As WND has also reported, the evidence that Dunham was in Seattle in August 1961 comes from three sources:

“The public records division of the University of Washington has e-mailed WND that: “Ms. Stanley Ann Dunham was enrolled at the University of Washington for: Autumn 1961, Winter 1962, Spring 1962”

“Mary Toutonghi, the babysitter for Barack Obama Jr., told WND that she babysat for Obama when he was 7-months old (around February/March 1962) and Dunham was attending night classes at the University of Washington that started around 4:30 p.m.”

The Polk 1961-1962 directory listed Dunham at a Capitol Hill address in Seattle.
