Here's the interview. Just received it this morning! Enjoy!

Ken and Marion's Interview

M-1 7;25 AM C.S.T. JUST HEARD THE INTERVIEW. QUITE A STORY, YOU SOUNDED LIKE A TEENAGER. AS FAR AS THE

BLANKET--I THINK IT IS IN TTHE RIGHT PLACE AND THE RIGHT PERSON HAS IT. MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT

----YOU--- PUT A NOTE ON THE BLANKET SAYING, '' PROPERTY OF AN UNKNOWN G.I, AT ANZIO''. SIGNED BY SOME

THAT WERE AT ANZIO. ROQUE,(Rocky)...

Great interview with Ken M1!

So glad that this reminder of all our brave Anzio veterans has come to you - who'd have such a deep appreciation for it.

I'm sure the "unknown GI" is smiling.

Nice to put a voice to the text! Great story and interview.

Merci and gratias amigos and amies!

Just got another letter from Ken this morning. How sweet. I will share with all later, as well as that promised photograph.

Okay, here it is in all its glory!

Hi Marion. Just wanted you to know I really enjoyed listening to the Steve Madely show on CFRA last Thursday. You and Ken did a superb job. I am sure you are happy to have received the blanket. I do have a request ... I was wondering, if it is at all possible for you to send me a picture of the blanket. Every month The War Amputations of Canada puts out a Newsletter to our National Council of Veterans Association members here in Canada and we would like to include the Steve Madely interview. A picture would be the 'icing on the cake', as they say. Only if this isn't too much trouble. You can send it via e-mail or mail to:

Sorry but I have never seen a blanket like this. ALL WE HAD WERE BROWN

WOOLEN PLAIN. Maybe the engineers or rear echelon people had them.

Hm, Grey with U.S. nice looking blanket. M-1, when you fold it, make

sure the U.S. is visible. Rocky
