On September 27th, we had lunch with Josh Romney. (Believe it or not, there are four more Romney boys all out stumping for their Dad, Mitt Romney).
Josh was in Reno for a luncheon and then off to Vegas for an evening event. We were able to chat with Josh “ONE on one” for about 5 to 10 minutes. He knew of the ONE campaign and was happy to wear a wrist band. He indicated that ONE is a great campaign and then asked if we knew of an organization with which he works closely, called “Right to Play”. The organization organizes humanitarian projects in Africa, Asia and the Middle East that are sports programs; thus combining play and fun with immunizations to improve the health of children affected by war, poverty and disease. Josh impressed us most with his compassion for children living in poverty.

There is no veneer, this family is the real deal when it comes to integrity. I have neighbor who roomed with another son (Matt Romney) while he attended BYU. As a roomate you see faults and strengths. My neighbor had nothing but good to say about Matt and his family, who visited often…it was very interesting and refreshing to hear that.
