No, I just thought, like myself, he is a serious WW2 History buff. I have 4 books on Patton, have read and re-read those many times-- a most complex man- spoke fluent French, a student of the classics, married into affluent Boston Back Bay old money, Beatrice indulged his every whim- horses, a yacht, and possibly his Parkers. One fact remains: in spite of his Sicilian "slapping soldiers" in medic tents, he lead from the front, like Rommel, and no General in the ETO had logged the hours he spent visiting his wounded men, and personally gave the Purple Hearts, instead of delegating that duty to a field grade officer- thanks for the feedback, however- RWTF
