 |
|
Just one of those 'It's a small world' coincidences that's kind of interesting.
G.H.W. Bush birthplace: 173 Adams Street, Milton, MA
Robert Forbes House : 215 Adams Street, Milton, MA
This is the Forbes that Kerry's descended from. The house was built in 1833 "and occupied by the Forbes family into the 1960's."
G.H.W. Bush was born on 6/12/1924.
Mapquest directions put the distance at .15 miles. They were pretty much next door neighbors, given that houses in that area have huge amounts of land. Do you think they sipped tea together?

Bush Sr. moved very shortly after being born fom that House. I am quite familiar with the location. As well as some of the family history, but we are not going into that right now.
