I had an elementary school teacher who knew one of his cousins or something and she told me the cousin told her that Patton had a recipe for chili that was a family secret and he’d prepare it at almost every family gathering. I reckon I’ll Googlize it someday. Bob R Sent from my iPhone > On

Whoops! Sorry about that, I misunderstood. I was pretty sure Patton wasn’t from WI. That’s one of the things I was interested in learning more about. Unfortunately, I didn’t pay attention to the book’s author, who has made a career out of perpetuating unfounded claims about various famous pe

Frank Martin, the scout in the book I referred to was from WI. (not Patton)As for Patton, it seems there is some evidence that he may have been "put down" by his own gummit. Since the OSI guys are probably dead, we will never know for sure. Dan Penoff via Mercedes

Patton is a great movie, one that actually deserved academy awards. If you like Patton, read this: https://www.amazon.com/Pattons-Lucky-Scout-Adventures-Observer/dp/1933987103? It is a book that is nearly impossible to put down. And he was from WI. Dan Penoff via Mercedes
