I think the grandkids have pretty much exhausted Grandpa Joe’s treasure horde. The Kennedys want the Hyannis Compound to become an “National Historical Site” and be aquired by the Federal Government. Basically, they want to sell the place and hope they can get a premium with a politically connected sale to the government.

True story told by my Dad, who is now in a rest home at the age of 90: Some years ago, when my Dad still drove, he and my stepmother were out for a drive near Hyannisport and a car pulled up and they asked where the Kennedy compound was. My dad agreed to guide them there (it wasn’t far). A blind man got out and was led to the fence by others. He put one hand on the fence, as if he was touching something special, magical. He smiled and said, “OK, let’s go.”

That’s what the Kennedys mean to some people.
