Gone With The Wind brought back fond memories, thank you very much. I used to see the gentlemen who purchased the movie rights for Margaret Mitchell's novel quite often. He was a major stockholder in the company I worked for and stopped in regularly. He had also purchased the rights for technicolor for a song because the great movie moguls of that day didn't think moviegoers would want to see pictures in color just as they didn't think people would want "talkies" some years earlier. How wrong they were. He was one of the wealthiest men in the world (top ten) when WWII (The Big One) started. He was old enough to not be called but he dutifully volunteered, went to OCS and was commissioned in the Army Air Corps and assigned to intelligence. While working with the French Underground, he was captured and put on a POW train destined for Germany. A US air strike on the train destroyed the locomotive and derailed the train. In the confusion, he escaped and made his way back to the Underground. Interesting character. He also coined the term "crew cut" by convincing his Yale rowing crew that they could make better speed by cutting their hair short. A champion polo player and all around athlete he was called "Jock" by his friends. His name was John Hay Whitney. His sister, Joan, gave birth to the New York Mets and was principal owner of the Mets after failing to keep the Dodgers in New York.
