I met Romney in 2012 in Norfolk. He’s a good sized man himself, and in good shape for a guy in his mid 60s. He stands about 6’3” or 6’4”.
Romney is a physical pansy though, non-athletic, and a draft evader that made sure to stay out of military service, (a never broken, 170 year old, family tradition).
One of his early scandals was ganging up on a boy to cut his hair, he needed his boys to do the work against the rebellious one.
“Despite the school’s rarefied air, it was still a high school, so the jocks tended to be the most popular. Mitt’s singular distinction as an athlete was an embarrassing one, classmates recall. He competed in a 2.5-mile race held during a football game, setting off with the rest of the runners at the start of halftime.
Everyone returned before the second half of the football game began, except Mitt. He didn’t resurface until about 10 minutes after the last runner. He staggered around the oval for the final lap, collapsing twice in the last 15 yards but drawing cheers from the crowd when he finally crossed the finish line. “It had to be one of those moments that made you feel good, but inadequate,” Bailey says. “But those kinds of things didn’t bother him.”
