Susan Montgomery Williams

Susan Montgomery Williams (February 16, 1961 - October 1, 2008) was an American record-holding bubblegum-blower. She set a Guinness World Record for the largest bubble blown, in diameter, in 1994.

Early life Susan Montgomery was born in National City, California, and grew up in the San Joaquin Valley. As a student at Roosevelt High School in Fresno, she discovered and developed her bubble-blowing talent. She did not graduate from high school and later qualified for disability insurance due to epilepsy.

Bubblegum-blowing In 1994, Williams set a Guinness World Record for bubblegum-blowing with a bubble. Susan had tricks and tips to blowing bubbles as big as she did, called the "Susan "Mont-Gum-ery" Williams technique, which she would say proudly before blowing her world record bubbles. Videos of this technique and her records are on youtube.

In addition to blowing the largest bubbles, Williams was said she could pop her gum louder than any competitors. Due to her loud gum popping, in October 1989 she was arrested at the Fresno Fair after her loud popping disturbed attendees at an outdoor Smokey Robinson concert and she refused to desist. Those charges were dropped in February 1990, but while in the courthouse to answer those charges, Williams' popping in the hallway disturbed jury selection in a murder case.
