There, taking his first drink, Everett began the path to teenage alcoholism. His 300-year-old New England family included Everett, Massachusetts' namesake, Edward Everett, who after serving as president of Harvard University became governor of Massachusetts and, in 1852, the U.S. But that was probably in back of the whole thing." Everett soon became a professional artist on the advertising staff of the Boston newspaper The Herald-Traveler for $12 a week.
