While reviewing the bibliography of Reilly's book "Killing Patton", I read that one of the most helpful books was the "Biography of Troy Middleton" by Frank J. Price. Was this the same Price who was my first journalism teacher at LSU? Yes, it was. Price, who later became the school directer, wrote the book in 1974.
Among other duties Price was the adviser for the school newspaper, the Reveille, For a period of time I was the paper's proof reader. Price checked the first paper I proof read and could find no errors except a wrong size period. He was impressed and joked, "Didn't a wrong font period just jump at you?"
General Middleton saw action in World War I and was called to active service again in 1942. He is best known as the hero of Bastogne, which he refused to surrender and led to victory of the Battle of the Bulge. General Middleton became LSU president after the war and served there eleven years.
