As told by fellow Mormon and Wearer Of Magic Draws, JW Marriott:
Marriott spoke about an interview he did in the 1990s with CBS News' Mike Wallace for "60 Minutes," retelling a story about the undergarments many practicing Mormons wear, another subject the Romneys have never discussed.
Marriott explained that he told Wallace at the time that the underwear looks like a "T-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts" and that it prompted him to tell a story about an instance he believes the garments saved his life.
"I'd been involved in a very serious boat accident, here in New Hampshire. I caught fire; my polyester pants had burned off all the way to my waist. But my undergarments from my waist down to my knees had not even been singed. There was not a mark on them. And I said, these holy undergarments saved my life," Marriott said.
The Romney family and the Marriott family have a long standing friendship. Romney's father, George Romney, was so close to John Willard Marriott, the founder of the Marriott enterprise, that he named Romney after him. Romney's first name is actually Willard, and Mitt is his middle name.
