I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR. Never felt the slightest envy as far as lifestyle is concerned. The story is interesting however particularly in 20/20 hindsight. Not too many fathers have raised their son's deliberately with the Presidency in mind, and then had to watch as they successively were killed by various means, even into the next generation it still goes on. Of the ones I've seen Maria Shriver may yet turn out to be the prime choice as an individual person, in spite of having married Swartzenager (not because of). Something must have impressed me because even after all these years I remember quite a bit of it. Recently bought copies of Maria's book, "Ten things I wish I'd known before I went out into the real world" for my three 18 yr old granddaughters when they graduated from High School. No not triplets, I have three girls who were close enough to all have girls within the span of three months. Cheers, it's an interesting world. Trev. Personally I never forgave Joe Sr for urging the US to enter WWII on the side of the Germans against the UK, since that's where I was at the time.

<can not imagine the kind of relationship with my spouse that I would not tell them I was setting up 10mil. trust funds for the kids.> Not unusual if you think about it. It's a generational gap I would think. I still know elderly gentlemen who would never think to tell their wives about their finances, I sure you know such people as well. On a close to home basis, my mother-in-law is a very intelligent person. After her husband's passing, she took over his slot as vice-chairman of a large hospital's board of trustees and has managed her own finances. Rather well, I might say. Yet before his death her concerns about finances did not even include knowing the hours the bank was open. In my case my mother handled everything and the old man just handed over a paycheck. One spouse often handled the finances and the other had no interest, I think this was more common than not. To Joe Kennedy, a $10M trust may have been no more worth discussing than you or I dropping $2,000 into an IRA.
