Getting excited. Just spent the last two days corresponding back and forth with Col Mike Morgan of Army Engineer mag. He showed me the layout for the cover and the article. All I can say is spectacular! He did a magnificent job and the photo and map layouts are superb!
While it was great having an article in WWII Magazine, this is a more personal touch because it has photos and captions, a reference to our site and Mike felt it wasn't necessary to edit my text, so it is AS I WROTE IT. So the personal references that I made to the men including my father, still remain. I am very thrilled by that. In fact I'm on cloud nine.
I know the members of the 540th and their family members will just love it. Mike has made it come to life. I swore that I would not allow sneak previews, so all of you will have to wait until it is published.
Just had to share my excitement and enthusiasm. Mike, if you are reading this, thanks in advance. This is a great honor for me and I delighted that you let me have this wonderful opportunity.
