Christopher G. Kennedy, son of Robert F. and Ethel Kennedy, in addition to sharing so much information himself, right down to a sail on a Wianno Senior, generously introduced me to cousins, siblings, spouses, and his extraordinary mother. Several members of the Kennedy and Shriver families kindly agreed to be interviewed. The staff of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum were wonderfully helpful. My thanks go to Al Lawson and Jennifer Morgan Williams of the charming Osterville Historical Museum and to Timothy W. Fulham, chair of the Wianno Senior Class Association. I met many wonderful people, among them artist Henry Koehler, who shared stories and his only surviving photographs of his 1963 paintings of Victura. The process of bringing Victura’s story to the printed page was aided by my friends Sallie Smith and John Montgomery; my agent, Claire Gerus; my editor Stephen Hull; Beth Aldrich; and Rhea and Earl Kingman. As important as the contributions so far noted have been, combined they do not equal those of my wife, Linda Kingman, supportive at every step, in innumerable ways, and for much longer, of course. And, speaking of the longer term, the original encourager of my written works was my mother, Virginia P. Graham, who to this day inspires and encourages both by example and thoughtful effort.
