Jane [the "sister" of the title] was younger and still lived with our parents in nearby Tewksbury. In the summer, she would sometimes accompany the Kerrys to Naushon Island, the private, seven-mile-long summer retreat of the Forbes family, and help with the children.. . . Jane told a Kerry story I hadnt heard before. . . . Jane described how she was spending a week on Naushon. Unaware that she was on a nearby porch and within earshot, Kerry was telling Julia that he didnt want Jane to eat dinner with the family that evening. When Julia asked why, Kerry explained that some dinner guests he had invited didnt approve of the help eating with the family. . . .
So what happened? I asked, trying to be serious. Jane went on to explain that Julia had put her foot down and told her husband she refused to explain that Kerry wanted her to eat in another room. With that, our would-be president backed off and Jane ate with the family as she usually did. I could picture her sitting at the dinner table, looking at Kerry and doing the slow burn as only Jane can.
No, but thanks for posting that. It was some store where Kerry was going droning on and on and his first wife had to tell him to STFU.
