Democratic presidential front-runner Howard Dean may have grown up
on tony Park Avenue and summered with the swells at East Hampton’s
then-whites-only Maidstone Club, but his mother, Andree Maitland Dean,
insists her son’s roots are practically working class.
“Howard didn’t have the least bit of a glamorous upbringing,” Ma
Dean told the New York Times last week. “When I was growing up, we
didn’t even treat the servants like servants.”
Sitting in her humble multimillion dollar upper East Side digs, Mrs.
Dean told the Times that every time she had a baby, she’d be forced to
convert the dining room into a bedroom for the newborn. In fact, space
was so tight there was barely enough room for baby Howard’s live-in
nurse.
