When I lived in Mass, I always thought of Kerry as a member of the Forbes family (not related to Malcom Forbes or Steve Forbes). But not at all as another Kennedy-like Irishman.

The Forbes' own a large part of northern Cape Cod, and he was from that clan.

The one guy I personally knew from the Forbes clan was a real Forbes, not a middle-named Forbes, and a DEC computer engineer (he had to work for a living). He also was genuine a-hole, 'cause he had the name, the DNA, and the geneaology, but not the money.

The Forbes clan has a very nice island off of Woods Hole. Lots and lots of Forbes around here.
