I read the Bill O’Reilly “conspiracy” book about his death recently, and while it was a lot of BS as this is the way O’Reilly pimps his conspiracy books, there were some interesting historical aspects to it. I should have known better, but Patton’s death was always something I wanted to know more about.
I visited his grave when I was in Europe on business some years back. I know my Dad would have been envious had he been alive at the time. And Patton was from CA. San Marino, I believe. -D > On Nov 10, 2018, at 9:24 PM, Curley McLain via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Patton is a great movie, one that actually deserved academy awards.
