No, it was real to sound like it was from snobby old money. (Or money, in any case.)[/quote]

Right.  See, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.[/quote]

Sooo--my great aunt is from the same part of NY and sounded exactly like a cross-between Katherine Hepburn and Jackie-O.

My parents were both raised in Connecticut and spent college in Boston.  Uncles went to Providence and Yale.

They don't have it as crazy as Jackie-Os but I love going back for family events and listening to all of my Aunts and Uncles speak. It is that certain 'new england accent'.  Kennedy-esque.  It brings me back to my childhood.

My dad doesn't have it all and he went to all private schools--but was poor and given scholarships to all the best Conn. prep schools--college.  My mom has it a bit but she grew up across the street from Yale.

You really don't hear it much anymore.  It didn't translate down to my cousins.[/quote]
