Why the Kennedys keep going back to their Hyannis Port compound after generations of tragedy
"White House by the Sea" examines why. Storey — an editor at Rolling Stone — interviewed 120 people, including dozens of Kennedys, and asked them about the unbreakable bond between the family and this town.
The family, then with five children , liked Cohasset, an upscale resort town by Massachusetts Bay. But in 1922, the golf club there rejected Joseph as a member, likely because of his Catholic faith and humble background. Then, the kin discovered Hyannis Port.The nine Kennedy kids would spend idyllic summers there, playing intense games of touch football, racing sailboats, and attending dances. As Joseph moved from banking to Hollywood to an ambassadorship under President Franklin D.
John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier stroll across the lawn of his family's home after announcing their engagement.By that point, John's brother Robert and his growing family had moved to the house behind Joseph's, and John and Jacqueline had moved next door to them. John continued to spend weekends at the Kennedy Compound, sometimes holding Cabinet meetings in his parents' living room.
"People have their different coping mechanisms, and for that family, it's sailing and walking along the beach," Storey said, citing the conversations she had with family members. Many would walk"the exact path along the beach when these awful tragedies have happened. There's a connection to other generations through these things, and it's really meaningful for them.
She enjoyed painting and sunbathing nude on the roof of her house while editing manuscripts. But in 1979, she walked out of the house she had shared with John for the final time, headed for Martha's Vineyard. She didn't bring anything with her, not even her favorite oil painting that she'd done for John in 1960.
