Because DU needs to show a little love for Stanley....

[Clio the Leo]

Must have been a pretty neat guy. I love how in practically every picture you see, he looks like he's right smack dab in the middle of a laugh....

2. OK, I'll bite....

Who is "Stanley"?

I just woke up, so maybe I missed something.

[Clio the Leo]

4. lol, see the dude in the pic above? Does the little fella sitting on his shoulders not look familiar

Here, maybe this is a little less vague....

[TomInTib]

7. i see a resemblance

in facial features ... the adult Barack looks a lot like his grandfather pictured in that photo.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

19. He does - their facial structure is the same

I really, really love this family - every single one of them.

8. Dammit, Dad, why did you have to die in 1983? Or at all?

I was born and raised in El Dorado, Kansas, where the Dunhams had a furniture store in the 1940s. My dad worked downtown and most likely knew them, as he was the "Birthday Man of El Dorado" and knew everyone in town. I would love to be able to ask him about it.

Nice to know other small town Kansans had big enough spirits to raise such a remarkable daughter and grandson.

[Clio the Leo]

13. oh! Thanks for reminding me about Kansans!!

Gotta run off to the cabinet thread to ask about Sebelius.

[KamaAina]

11. His mom's name was Stanley, too!

They must have really wanted a boy...

It wasn't until she got to UH that she ditched it for "S. Ann Dunham"!

[Dennis Donovan]

15. I just noticed - the kid in the background is gonna whip that stick at them!

Secret Service! Wrestle that kid to the ground!:rofl:

[Clio the Leo]
