Father Andreus Weyer, the Roman Catholic chaplain of my unit in Germany, did. A long story, but Patton helped his Abbey, which had been suppressed by the Nazis, recover. Father Andreus and the Brothers from his Abbey spent the War in Dachau.
Father Andreus had a very high opinion of General Patton and didn't think the movie did him justice.
Father Andreus was a remarkable man, the bravest, holiest and one of the most modest men I've ever known.
Come to think of it, even if I never had lunch with Ted Williams or George S. Patton, I did have lunch, on several occasions, with a very remarkable man.
LOL Good idea!! Can I beat Adolf to death with a baseball bat? He'd be my first choice. But can we then nominate someone we'd love to just SLAP in the face for their flaming ignorance and stupidity? Michael Moore.
Well then, LIM, may I nominate your post for the most heartfelt and admirable? God bless Andreus Weyer! This world needs more heroes just like him.
Jimmy Carter’s father circa 1923, so I could convince him to use birth control. Failing that, his mother, so I could convince her to have an abortion.
The first Las Vegas show I ever saw was Dean. It was in 1987 so late in his career but it was a light fun show. The intro for him was....and now direct from the bar....Dean Martin!!!
I'll try to remember that and never forget it.
I was mentioning that I knew someone who had lunch with General Patton, a remarkable and admirable man, and thought to myself, Father Andreus was a remarkable man in his own right.
If we think about it, we all knew some remarkable people. In someways, I benefited more from knowing Father Andreus, in large part because of his modesty, than I ever would have benefited from knowing any celebrity, including a celebrity general.
She thought I was a real indian to just recently. She's 12 now.
Her first shoes were teeny, tiny mocassins. They took me all day to make because they were so little.
