I think I'm going to get Amrose's history of Eisenhower soon. I was in New Orleans for 2 months for the BP spill and finished EVERYTHING in the National WW2 Memorial there. Read every sign, listened to every oral history. I want to go back to see the restored PT-305.
Anyway, the story I heard there was that Ambrose was interviewing Ike for the book, and Ike asked him where he was from. Ambrose said NOLA, and Ike asked if he had heard of Andrew Higgins. Ambrose said no. Ike said that Higgins was the man who won the war for us. So there is a room in the museum dedicated to the Higgins factory. I have a biography, but I'm saving it for when I complete a model of a Higgins PT (the 216).
