Well here I am back home in the UK after 4 days that will live in my memory for ever. I was honoured to attend the 36th/540th reunion in Pennsylvania and must first of all thank Marion for inviting me and John Fallon for the welcome that he and all the others gave me. The vets and their families and the sons and daughters of those no longer with us, made my stay so special to me.
I have already decided that I will attend next year, so many people said I had to go back and told me they expected me to be there!
I now have 25 more friends in the USA, to go along with those in Canada the UK and other parts of the world, all with a common link of WWII.
I have a large number of pics but I have chosen just two. The 1st a group shot of the Vets along with a re-enactor. The 2nd, a very important one to me of Iradell Gaylen a US Army Engineer who fought on Sicily and Gene his brother who was in the US Infantry and landed on D-Day. My long conversation with both of them was the highlight of my visit. Of course meeting Marion for the first time who I have known since the start of her website 6 years ago was also special.
Colin.
