George Jackson, 326th Airborne Engineering Battalion
#48

It's been yet a year since I posted, so I wanted to provide another update on George.  He's been quite the celebrity, travelling and giving interviews.  He met a group called the Central Pennsylvania WWI Roundtable in Hummelstown PA when he attended the Reading, PA WWII weekend this summer.  They asked him to come speak, last night, to a crowd of about 100 people.  He recounted many of the stories he shared in my interview with him on YouTube.  At the end, he stuck around and shook hands, and signed autographs.  And made the front page of the paper in preparation for this event.  Props to the folks who helped get George to the event, about 1.5 hours away from his home.  What an amazing group of people, enthusiastic about learning the history from our veterans, in person.  I made the 2 hour drive to attend and here are a few photos I took at the event.
