Cranbrook Schools and Mitt Romney--How interesting is that?

http://schools.cranbrook.edu/Romney


FAQ's

Q. What was Mitt Romney like as a student?
A. Despite Cranbrook boasting many long-serving faculty and staff, no one at Cranbrook Schools today was affiliated with the school when Romney was a student (1959-1965). As such, there is no one at Cranbrook who can offer any personal observations, anecdotes, or stories about any aspect of his time here or what he was like as a student.


Of course not, but you can read his father's commencement address on this page.

Eliel Saarinen designed Cranbrook School.
He was the father of Eero Saarinen, who designed the St. Louis Arch as a catenary (hanging chain), not a parabola.

Crazy brilliant Finns.
