I was invited to participate in the following event on October 13th and 14th at Fort Wayne in Detroit. I will be attending as a WWII author, and will have copies of part one of documentary, No Bridge Too Far, for sale. They have also arranged to have several showings throughout the day on Saturday, the 13th. Thanks for the invite and for giving me this wonderful opportunity.

WWII authors and good friends, Don Burgett and George Koskimaki (101st Airborne fame), will also be in attendance. Always a pleasure seeing my friends and getting to spend some quality time with them.

The event takes place the weekend of October 13th and 14th, 2012

If you are in the area and thinking of attending, here's a map to historic Fort Wayne

You might be interested in reading the history of Fort Wayne, because it also was the primary procurement location for the vehicles and weapons manufactured in Detroit during both World Wars. Also during WW II the Fort housed prisoners of war from Italy.
