    Kind of Odd to watch a 20 something year old kid talk about a woman that was alive 80 years ago like they knew each other. Rather listen to the friend

    I have a great book on Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy and she was a very interesting person and young woman with an ebullient personality. She lived her short life pretty much true to herself and went against her family for the sake of love and love alone. I think she was a remarkable woman who would have made a great contribution to this world had she not been killed in a plane crash in 1948. She is buried at Chatsworth. The widow of "Billy", The Marquis of Hartington, who she was married to for 8 months (May-December 1944), before he was killed in the war.

      Joe, Jr. and JFK, Joe was killed when something happened to his plane. I forget all the details of his mission, however JFK was awarded for his heroism when his PT109 was damaged and he saved his crew. Joe was so distraught that he went out on an unnecessary mission, I think he was supposed to bail out of the plane, but for some reason didn't (that being part of the details I don't recall) and I think the plane went down or it exploded. Joe, Sr set the kids up to be competitive with one another. Jack got a medal, Joe, Jr wanted one too. He couldn't let his younger brother outshine him

      @@klerb342 Yes. The Kennedys were wealthy, but Kathleen brought none of it to the marriage. Jo and especially Rose were totally opposed to the marriage and the getting married in a Civil Ceremony in a Register Office was the final straw. In effect Kick came to the marriage in the clothes she stood up in. The only Kennedy present was Joe Jnr who was serving in the US military at the time. Sadly the marriage only existed 5 weeks as she was soon widowed.
      The Cavendishes were (and still are) very wealthy also. At the time, as well as all their land holdings and other property they also had plenty of cash, being involved in international banking and very high level politics. They certainly didn't need (or receive) any cash from the Kennedys.

      She really did, but the rest of the story was cut off. Kathleen was fun loving, very outgoing, something British girls were not. They did marry despite the religious differences, her being Catholic and him being Church of England, he was killed while serving the RAF, she stayed in England and was volunteering for the British Red Cross when she too was killed. She was buried in England
