Mz. Molly Flynn was the first one in this week with BOTH names needed in a TWOFER!
(although like others.....it took a second email to win!!)
Willard Mitt Romney and his wife Ann.....
Willard Mitt Romney and his wife Ann.....
were this week's correct guesses.
--Both grew up in Detroit.
--He was named after Willard J. Marriott....
a friend of his fathers and founder of the Marriott Hotel chain....
and Marriot's Great America....hence the roller coaster named Willard's Whizzer.
--The name "Mitt" came from his Dad's cousin Milton "Mitt" Romney who was a Chicago Bear quarterback back in the 1920's.
--Was involved in a car accident in Southern France in the '60's where a passenger of his was killed.....although not his fault. He was in France on a 30-month tour as a Mormon Missionary.
