John Waters

Okay, and you serve.

I'm John Waters.

I'm out of the Amarillo area.

I ride with the Combat Vets Motorcycle Association.

And we've got a bunch of people in here that have something to do with us and are hooked up with us some way or another, including Kathy Pearce, who had reached out to me.

She will be on the flight.

Dale Hirschman and John Waters also in the studio now.

Here's one thing.

So that's where it, it's gonna end.

And, uh, Patton's son-in-law, John Waters, is captured there, and this is something that's gonna keep Patton up at nights until they finally, you know, the Germans announce that he's one of the prisoners that they have, and something that will dog him through the rest of the war.

He's always, you know, trying to find out information about John Waters.

If John Waters is allowed through the Red Cross to write a letter home, Patton's oldest daughter, Bee, named after Beatrice, his wife, she would send it to Patton.

Um, it was something that was always on his brain.

And so the real shame of it is just as he crosses the Rhine River in, in March, on March 22nd, 1945, which is what probably his last crowning achievement, because the Rhine River is the signal to everyone involved that the war is gonna be over pretty quickly.

Um, so they send Task Force Baum barreling behind enemy lines.

Um, they make it to the, the task force makes it to the German POW camp.

[laughs]

John, John Waters, Elliot is watching.

He's on here right now.

Maybe he'll send you a private message or something.

[laughs]

Those extinct sand bass.

This was on our friend John Tully's boat.

Yep.

And we've got a very clear ambition that we want to try and improve every single department of the football club.

And John Waters has that responsibility to do on the football side.

And effectively, that's my responsibility, working clearly with John Coates and Richard Smith to drive the off-field ambitions as well.

Got you.
