While my brother and I were waiting to go in the service, our mother called us in and told us she was having trouble making ends meet. She could send one of us to LSU, but not both. My brother spoke up and said "Mother, neither one of us will go to LSU because we are going to go in the US Army." She was very proud of us for that.

| General Patton |
My brother and I ended up in two different units, but we did get to see each other once in awhile during the war. Our general was General George Patton.
Our mother was even more proud (and relieved) after the war when we both came back safely.
