I received this short email from General Westmoreland's son, Ripley, yesterday afternoon. He is traveling to visit family in various locales around North and South Carolina.

"Howard, thanks for that Knife Knews… I’m seeing mom this week end and will pass on!!

Rip

James R. Westmoreland
Attorney at Law"

Interesting to me that he intends to share the article on Westy's knife with his mother.

I've edited this post since I learned that I misspoke about Ms. Katherine Westmoreland's age.
