## Tour (4 steps)

1. Joseph Kennedy made a fortune and decided one of his sons would be president. He had four to work with.
2. Nine children. The plan was for the eldest, Joe Jr., until his plane exploded over the English Channel in 1944.
3. So it fell to the second son. He made his brother Attorney General and his brother-in-law head of the Peace Corps.
4. The red lines are all deaths. Turn on the timeline and drag it forward: 1944, 1948, 1963, 1968, 1999.
