Romney and his sons followed the shouts to find the group floating in the darkness treading water alongside their dog.

The Governor heaved the youngest two women onto his Jet Ski, a three-seater, and raced back to shore. The two Romney sons stayed with the rest of the family until the Governor returned to ferry the rest of the family, and their dog, safely to dry land.


I never knew this story! Thanks for posting!

"I never knew this story!"

Me neither, and in reading the comments section, someone posted:

"Romney as a young missionary in France took on a gang of would-be rapists to protect two young women at the risk of his own life. Later, having survived a car crash that killed his mission president's wife, Romney stepped up to handle day to day business of the mission so that the mission president could grieve. Romney is clearly a man of action who does not hesitate to put himself into harm's way for others. You cannot get more in touch with real people than that."

Another posted:

"Not the first heroic act by Romney either. He mobilized an entire team from his work office to find the missing daughter of a colleague."

Hadn't heard about either one of those, and wonder if any Freepers have.
