Howdy! Joe,

In a Email I wrote to You I suggested that You stop at Fort Knox Army Base
to see the Tanks at the Patton Museum as Your were on Your way Northbound
towards my area.

After You arrived safely at Home I looked at the Fort Knox web site and
learned the Tanks aren't in their Museum anymore.

The Museum is about General Patton and has items he owned but No Tanks.

The Tanks are in a Museum at Fort Bennings Army Base in Georgia.

I looked at the Fort Bennings web site but couldn't see how to click on
a link to look at their Museum, if they have one there.

If You had took the advice I gave You about taking a side trip to the
Fort Knox Base You would have been thinking about Me and my advice?

My Dad took us Boys to The Patton Museum when we were very young.
I remember climbing down a Tank Hatch, looking around and when I wanted to
climb up the ladder one of my feet got caught between two spring loaded
pieces of metal (doors?), I tugged and tugged but I couldn't get my foot
out of that.

So I cried HELP! and my older Brother came down and pressed both of the
metal pieces  down and I got my foot out and climbed out of that Tank.

I am thinking what I got my leg caught in was a compartment to put a Fired
Shell Caseing in after the Ammo was used. ?

I am glad You didn't take My advice to go look at the Tanks.
