>Dear Nick,

I am a history teacher in Kansas City, Missouri.  My father served with
Patton and was in the 3rd Armored Cav. He met General Patton and he
attended the US War College with Patton's son. I' m sure he would be happy
to answer your questions.  He is not yet on-line, but you can write to him
at
        Colonel (Ret.) Dan Jennings

Good luck with your research.
