Kennedy Compound Conundrum

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

The Kennedy clan first fell for Martha's Vineyard in 1926 when Joseph and Rose rented a summer cottage there - years later they bought the main house property for thier bulging family. Twenty years later, brothers JFK and RFK bought adjacent houses and expanded the compound. 

Edward Kennedy had made the main house his home while RFK's widow Ethel still lives in another on the compound.  Now a troubling crossroads looms as Ted Kennedy's heirs consider transfering the main house for ownsership by the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for use as an institute or museum.
