Dear Ann Landers,
Gen. Patton's son-in-law, Col. Waters, U.S. In-fantry, was also interned in Moosburg, and later in the day, he was re-united with the general, who made a rousing speech to the newly freed prisoners of war. Thanks, Ann, for bringing back some memories of that fateful day 43 years ago. -Robert L. Hartman, Charleston, W.Va.

Dear Robert Hartman,
One of the most rewarding aspects of writ-ing this column is providing the thread of humanity that binds us one to the other. I never know, when I print a letter, how many lives I will touch. When I receive feedback, such as the letter you wrote, it gives me a feeling of enormous satisfaction. Space does not permit the printing of all the letters from "Moos- burgers" who were on hand when Gen. Patton's 3rd Army came in and liberated the POWs, but here are two more.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
