Debra was married to Madame Chiang Kai-Shek's nephew, Ling C. Kung. The home was known as Spruce Acres in Wolfeboro. My Grandparents were the caretakers at Spruce Acres in the 60's. I remember visiting the house many times as a kid. Unfortunately it no longer stands today.

Yes, sorry. TO be honest I had never heard of her until everybody made such a big deal about her.

A lot of the Red Sox stayed on Sewall Road in Wolfeboro. I don't know if Babe stayed there.

I just remembered Sammy White the Red Sox catcher stayed in Winter Harbor.
