Or at least close. Read as ABC News probes the: profoundly mysterious connection between Mitt Romney’s father and McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc. How could they possibly have known each other? What did George Romney do for Kroc? And just what about that gift card that a “randomly selected sample of McDonald’s restaurant managers”: have never heard of? (Cue the theme from: Jaws.)
