ABC News: Obama Heads Home After Vacation in Hawaii

ABC News: Obama Heads Home After Vacation in Hawaii

While on the pre-inauguration trip he attended a private memorial service for Madelyn Payne Dunham — known to friends as "Toot" — and scattered her ashes into the sea.

known to friends as "Toot"???

Obama called her Toot but that was short for Tutu, Hawaiian for Grandma.

I doubt if friends knew Madelyn Payne Dunham as "Toot."

Slack reportage. *tsk*
