More on Lolo Soetoro
Description from Wikipedia:
Lolo Soetoro (c. 1936–1987) was the stepfather of Illinois Senator Barack Obama, the 2008 Democratic candidate for President of the United States. He was a native of Indonesia.
During the Indonesian National Revolution (c. 1946) when Indonesia won independence from the Dutch, Soetoro's father and eldest brother were killed, after which the Dutch army burned down the family's home. Soetoro fled with his mother into the countryside to survive.
He met Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, when they were both students at the University of Hawaii. Around 1966 Soetoro and Dunham married and Soetoro returned to Indonesia when it called home its citizens who were studying abroad. About a year later,
Dunham and her six-year-old son Barack Obama followed Soetoro back to Indonesia, where the family took up residence in Menteng Dalam, Jakarta. In 1970 Soetoro and Dunham had a daughter, Maya Kassandra Soetoro-Ng (born Maya Soetoro).
After returning to Indonesia, Soetoro first worked for the army as a geologist and then took a job as a government relations consultant with Mobil Oil. Obama describes Soetoro as well-mannered, even-tempered, and easy with people. He writes that Soetoro was physically short, good looking, and brown with black hair. He describes the struggles he perceived Soetoro had to deal with after he returned to Indonesia from Hawaii.
During their years together in Indonesia, Dunham became increasingly interested in the country's culture, while Soetoro became more Western in his outlook. Ann Dunham left Soetoro in 1972, returning to Hawaii and reuniting with her son, who had returned from Indonesia in 1971 to attend school. Soetoro and Dunham saw each other periodically in the 1970s but did not live together again. They were divorced in 1980.
