Lynn Rosenman and Merrick Garland married in 1987. Their union made the New York Times because of her! Lynn's grandfather was Samuel Rosenman, who served as a New York State Supreme Court justice and as a counsel to Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman. He died in 1973, but his legacy lives on. Lynn is a graduate of Harvard University and the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she earned a master’s degree in operations management. When Lynn and Merrick married, she was working as the staff assistant to the vice president in charge of operations for the Melpar division of E-Systems, Inc., a defense electronics contractor in Falls Church, Virginia. Both their daughters are Yale graduates. The five-bedroom home in Bethesda the Garlands purchased in 1999 for $990,000 has been a terrific investment, today reported to be worth more than $2 million.
