Why is he acting dumb about his grandfather?

SourceRosemary Forbes Kerry From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Rosemary Forbes Kerry is a daughter of James Grant Forbes, and a granddaughter of Francis Blackwell Forbes, a botanist and wealthy merchant active in merchant banking and opium dealing in the China trade during the Opium Wars. She is the mother of John Forbes Kerry, a current candidate for President of the United States.

His mother, Rosemary Forbes Kerry, who was born in Paris, France, was apparently a homemaker. The daughter of an international businessman, Rosemary grew up mostly in France, where the Forbes family still has a home on a bluff in Brittany. Rosemary and Richard met while he was visiting the French coastal town of Saint-Brieuc in 1937.
