living a modest life in envy of family who provide summer vacations and schooling

In the late-80's I was living in Massachusetts and was acquainted with a member of the Forbes family. He also was a modest guy, an engineer at one of the computer companies.

But he sure as heck did not like John F. Kerry (IIRC, at the time he was Asst. AG). In fact we'd rib him about JFK just to see the sour look he'd put on. He did not consider JFK to be a "real" Forbes.

"..It is the neighbors who are unusual. In Idaho, the billionaire financier George Soros lives next door..."

I wonder if they ever had any face to face meetings.
