    R.I.P. Patricia Neal


    I think she and the Duke had one of the best sex scenes ever...


    In Harms way, when Duke calls his roommate and tells him to sleep out tonight and then Patricia bends down and unties her shoe... that's where the scene ends... but we all KNOW what was going to go on in the dark... Thank you Patricia and Duke for having some class....

    You can roll a turd in powdered sugar but that doesn’t make it a doughnut.

    Rest in Peace Patricia. I thoroughly enjoyed you in: In Harms Way, as well as opposite Michael Rennie in: The Day the Earth Stood Still.

    I know that nobody here has heard of the gent im about to mention but, this Gentleman was one I met about 12 years ago on a military history forum and he, his wife and I, became good friends.

    His name was Bernard, in WWII he was in the German Army as an Artillery Officer who served his entire war carreer on the Eastern Front. Bedo, never did anything that was not correct-so I dont want anyone to think so.

    During his long "walk" back to his Parents home, he traded away all but one of his Medals for shelter and for food. The one Medal he kept all these years till he gave it to me, was his Eastern Front Medal. It meant more to him than all his other decorations combined. Well, shortly after we met, he gave me his East Front medal and it is one I will never sell-not at any price. On learning that he had earned several other awards, I gave him one of the 2-3 Iron Crosses I had in my colection at that time. His wife will be sending the cross back to me on Bedos wishes. Even though this was not the cross he was originally awarded, to me it will also always be his.

    In 1950, he was in England and fell in love with a beautiful lady (still alive thank God) and then they migrated here to the USA and he found work working for Werner von Braun on our Rocket program. They retired in the 1980s and Bedo and his wife in retirement, went on historical lectures.

    Well, I lost touch with them for a few years, and was only fairly recently back in touch. I learned he had terminal Cancer and was in a Hospice. The staff at the hospice made his final weeks more bearable. Well, today I had been sent word that he had passed away.

    Rest in Peace Bedo-from a person who is greatful to have had the chance to call you, a friend.

    Anyway, Bedo-at wars end, had told his soldiers to disband and or to surrender. He chose to make his way home successfully doing so and taking over half a year to do so. He has the distinction of never having been a surrendered German Soldier

    Hi Tenneessee, Et,

    TN, I am not sure if they ever lived in Alabama, but I do know they lived in West Virginia at least for about the last 12 or so years. Its possible they could ahve lived in Alabama, but I dont ever recall either of them as ever mentioning living there. I could always ask Souzana when she gets back from Germany which will be in around a month.

    Et, quite welcome. These two people are fantastic people and im glad to have known them for the past decade and then some.

    Quote from The Tennesseean

    I just asked, because Von Braun built the space program starting at Marshall Space Flight/Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville after WWII, and died there in 1970...the Civic Center Auditorium is named for him.



    Hi TN/ definately no problem. Ill ask Souzana when she gets back from Germany and see if they did live there. Im sure they were whereever von Braun was-at least till he passed away.

    Take care-Carl.
