I agree, he is a very nice man and I was lucky to have spent about an hour talking with not only him but with Brig.Gen. David Lee "Tex" Hill, at the big Militaria show held in Houston once a year. Both of these Gents had the same booth. It was at this show that I also met and became friends with, a Gent who had been in the Hitler Youth then transferred to a Luftwaffe Flak unit in 43, and ended the war in American captivity as a Sergeant.
