Governor Kaleo Moylan and Guam's first elected attorney general, Douglas Moylan. He was the founder of Moylan Enterprises and became one of Guam's leading businessmen after moving to the island in 1946. In addition to his many business ventures, Moylan opened the first A&W Restaurants franchise in Guam and introduced the first Volkswagens to the island in the 1960s.
Scotty Moylan was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 23, 1916. He was raised on the South Side of Chicago. He was of Irish and Polish descent. In 1930, Moylan, who was just 15 years old, decided to leave Chicago to seek new opportunities in New York City during the Great Depression. He jumped on a train which he hoped would take him to New York. However, instead of going to New York, the train travelled west from Chicago. He made his way to Spokane, Washington, where he enlisted in the United States Army. The Army stationed Moylan in Hawaii following his enlistment. He witnessed the Attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
