SPEAK LIKE A NATIVE NEW ENGLANDER 7

Back in the 1960's Mr. Peabody was the Governor of
Massachusetts.

No, his boy Sherman was not Lt. Governor, nor did he own
a "Wayback Machine"

This Mr. Peabody was Gov. Endicott "Chub" Peabody . Gov.
Peabody came from old New England stock and was a
descendant of John Endecott, who was governor of the
Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 17th century.

There is another difference from the other Mr. Peabody

The time traveling hound's name is pronounced "Pea-body",
while Gov. Peabody's name is said the same way the North
Shore town of Peabody is pronounced: "Pea-ba-dee", although
the "ba-dee" is said quickly: "Pea-b'dee".

So to get to "Pea-b'dee" from "Baw-ston", don't warm up the
Wayback Machine.

Take your "cah"!
