This you don't want to miss - Congratulations to Ben Patton for the article in June's Smithsonian Magazine : http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/Presence-of-Mind-Recovered-Ground.html entitled "For General Patton's Family, Recovered Ground"
Famed World War II Gen. George S. Patton's grandson finds his calling in the ashes of his fathers journals (By Benjamin W. Patton Smithsonian magazine, June 2009). A wonderful piece on personal history and it's value. The accompanying video is fantastic and can be found at http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1494875046?bclid=1213949676&bctid=23928239001
Maybe I should print my blog on paper and save it somewhere?
