Well, that rules out Allan Rich, I guess. Ok, turtle. I'll keep searching.

Beg pardon, but where was Edward Jenner's house?

Yon house of the celeb looks very Spanish in style, California somewhere?

Clary:

Edward Jenner Museum
Edward Jenner (1749-1823) is famous throughout the world, as the discoverer of vaccination against smallpox. It is said that this discovery has saved more lives than the work of any other person. Jenner was born, and lived for most of his life, in the small town of Berkeley, Gloucestershire. The elegant Queen Anne house, which was his home for thirty-eight years, is now The Edward Jenner Museum.

I agree about Yit's place. That is why I guessed Mexico.

My stillborn sister was buried in Berkeley, Glos, but I wouldn't have recognised it from that picture!

It was a hard job finding this one!

Ackermansion, Los Angeles.

"Forry Ackerman is one of the great names in science fiction and Hollywood memorabilia. He is perhaps most famous for his editorship of Famous Monsters of Filmland, his representation of SF authors and his spectacular 18-room home which he named Ackermansion. Forry surrounded himself with thousands of books, props, paintings, posters, magazines, stills, etc., this 18 room monsterpiece is a wonder to behold. Sadly, he has had to sell his home due to medical and financial problems and his collection is being dispersed"

Oh, my Gawd, Francis. I should have known that one. Mr. Turtle was going to visit that place with Lightwizard.

Laughing No, Dutchy. I am surprised that Soccer George hasn't arrived, OZ. (that's a hint, incidentally)

Ah, honey, I led you down the wrong path. No, not that soccer George. Our A2K George. <smile> He is always teasing me about a certain place.

U.S. Dutchy. Hint: a fellow named Watson was involved with this person whose place I posted.

There are a number of Watson's mentioned in the Wikipedia, where does one start? What was it that he was involved in?

"Watson, come here. I want to see you." Incidentally, Dutchy. The place is a summer home of the man who was born in Europe. Now, it is used for other purposes.

Thinking about my ISP.

I stuck your in hint, "Watson come here, I want to see you" in Google, and this is the result:
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, we're sure you knew that, but when was the first call made and what was said?

The words 'Mr. Watson, come here, I want you!' were first uttered into a telephone in Boston, Massachusetts on March 10 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell to his assistant Thomas Watson.

The phone was made of a wooden stand, a funnel, a cup of acid, and copper wire which transmitted his voice to Mr. Watson listening in on a receiver in another room.

Am I getting closer?

Absolutely, Dutchy. All that is left is for you to seek out "summer place" in the states.
