Army Engineer Magazine
#2

Just received this today from Colonel Mike Morgan. This is an excerpt from his letter. Talk about making one's day! :D

 

"Marion:

 

First, I hope you and your family (and extended WWII vet family) have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Second, I received some feedback form a 92 year old, WWII Engineer Veteran who is a subscriber to the magazine and read your article. He said:

 

"Enjoyed very much Marion Chard's Nov-Dec article, particularly since I commanded the Engineer Combat Battalion which was attached to Bill Darby's Ranger Force for it's third assault at Gela. You may be aware that she (Marion) has set up an excellent internet site for all WWII 6 Corps engineer units. At 92 I haven't done much writing since I retired in 1964, but I had been fairly active until then, including a volume in the official 'U.S. Army in WWII'. I wonder if you (Army Engineer Magazine) would be interested in republishing any of the articles listed in the attachment. They last saw the light of day one or two generations ago. If so, I can fax or mail them to you."

 

Feedback such as this makes my job most rewarding. Here's a guy 92 years of age, who is still participating in military affairs, and seeking to keep history and traditions alive as best he can..."
