How well was (Bank of Hawaii-one of the first female bank vice presidents) Madelyn Dunham connected to the “four friends”? (Former editor of The Honolulu Advertiser) George Chaplin, (Former president of Bank of Hawaii) Herbert Cornuelle, Dr. Fred Gilbert and (Eleanor's husband) Dr. Robert Nordyke Background:
She did not know Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, while they were in labor together on Aug. 4, 1961, at the old Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital.
But (Eleanor) Nordyke was a population research fellow at the East-West Center while Dunham was there.
Reference: Eleanor C. Nordyke Population “Specialist”
She recalls that Obama’s birth notice was published several days before her daughters’ notice, even though Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was admitted to Kapiolani Hospital after Nordyke entered the hospital. Obama was born on a Friday, and the Nordyke twins were born on a Saturday, she said.
Nordyke’s late husband, Dr. Robert Nordyke, was an internal medicine specialist at Honolulu’s Straub Clinic.
“My daughters’ birth certificates were 10637 and 10638, and Obama’s was 10641, so his mother must have come in after I did,” Nordyke said, though she never met Obama’s mother.

Connections - “Four friends”:
Four friends worked to better the Islands
Once again, Hawai’i has lost a treasure — George Chaplin, former editor of The Honolulu Advertiser.
Four friends — George Chaplin, Herbert Cornuelle, Dr. Fred Gilbert and Dr. Robert Nordyke — often shared ideas and brain-stormed together, providing remarkable dedication to broad interests in community service to improve life in these Islands.
A few years ago, George wrote a memorial to Bob Nordyke, quoting Voltaire:
“Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create.”
This statement reflected the work of each of these leaders to “restore (community) health” and to “preserve and renew.” These friends shared a goal to make the world a better place for mankind.
Using their visionary, keen minds and pooling their energies, they applied their knowledge of writing, business, medicine and religion to effect lasting repercussions in education, government and health for the benefit of the people of Hawai’i.

George Chaplin, Editor at Large, The Honolulu Advertiser

(George) Chaplin served as editor of The Advertiser for 28 years, retiring in 1986. In 1998, he and his wife moved from their longtime Kahala home to South Carolina, where they could be closer to their children.
Chaplin’s impact on Hawai’i went far beyond his work at the newspaper. Chaplin immersed himself in a wide array of bold initiatives and civic causes that included his aggressive campaign for statehood, the creation of the East-West Center, the building of the Arizona Memorial and an unprecedented statewide dialogue on growth and planning in 1970 in preparation for the year 2000.

One of Chaplin’s boldest decisions still resonates today. In 1962, Chaplin and Twigg-Smith, recognizing that the people and politics of Hawai’i were changing fast, decided to buck the haole Republican establishment that not only controlled Hawai’i business but saw The Advertiser as its mouthpiece.
The newspaper endorsed a Democratic newcomer, Dan Inouye, over Republican Ben Dillingham for the U.S. Senate.
“When we decided to endorse Dan Inouye for Senate ... that probably changed Hawai’i about as much as a newspaper could change things,” Twigg-Smith said yesterday.
The endorsement also established a lifelong friendship between Chaplin and Inouye.
“At the time it was difficult, if not unheard of as an institution associated with the so-called Big Five, to endorse a Democrat,” Inouye said yesterday. “Our friendship has been close ever since.

Chaplin’s son, Steve, a retired State Department official, said his father was determined to build on Hawai’i’s foundation of ethnic tolerance.
