I thought this might be a good place to note something I just stumbled across while looking around and exploring things in general, something my dad once taught me to do as he drove around the back roads of wherever taking left-hand turns to see where that road went, going up private driveways just to see who and what and then apologize and turn back, and otherwise to follow one's nose and have a sense of curiosity.
I will be the first to say I am not a serious JFK researcher and certainly don't even belong in this thread or in this topic except in the vein of turning left to see what's here.
All that said, I discovered that the ancestors of a recent Bonesman who ran for the Presidency of the US against another Bonesman allegedly made their wealth importing opium from China and then turned to railroading and investment in some new-fangled device developed by a fellow named Bell that rang to signal its eagerness to talk.
Reading further, I discover that the Bonesman's family tree also holds Michael and Ruth Hyde Paine, in whose garage family friend Lee Harvey Oswald stored his rifle. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes_family ]
Maybe you know this; make of it what you will, with no need to explain anything to me.
It's just a curious 'house' on a hill I found up a long driveway marked "private".
