And it’s incredible, the accuracy. The Germans had their own permanent lofts during the war too, but we, of course, were mobile, we kept moving along. And we tried for fun and for serious thinking, maybe if we fed them in one loft and had the meat and the other loft, they might tend to go back and forth. Well, some of them did and some of them never made it. So we left an awful lot of pigeons in France in the early days. And a lot of the troops (chuckles) when they see a bird flying over there for fun, they’d take a shout at them. So an awful lot of troops had some squab that was unexpected delight for them. Anyway, the thing that was kind of silly for me, and fun, and dangerous was the fact that occasionally not often but occasionally, Colonel Sperry would called up and say, “Fisher, I’m taking a two-day break, “I’m going to so-and-so.” And he’d say, “Look after Willie.” And of course, anything the Colonel said, my response was, “Yes Sir.” And so there I was at headquarters at times, looking after Willie and that was Patton’s pet dog.
