Editor,
It has interested me that Mitt Romney has been portrayed as a man of privilege. As students at Brigham Young University in 1970, my wife and I were poor and rented one of the most rundown apartments in a poor section of Provo, Utah. The wood floors were coming up, nails protruded, there was no air conditioning, no shower and the heater was lousy. Two floors below us were Mitt and Ann Romney. My wife and I were surprised that they would live in the same poor complex we did. Certainly Mitt's parents could have placed their son and his wife in the nicest apartment in town. We did not know the Romneys well, but were always impressed with them. As an independent voter who has considered each of the candidates including the president, I believe Mitt Romney is the man who can unify our country and solve our country's woes. Mitt Romney wasn't lifted to the top, he climbed. What he did for himself he can do for our country.
