Well it's getting closer. I'm not as nervous about this one. It's more open-ended too, so a more relaxed atmosphere. Looking forward to it.

Tonight's the night!!! Hope my buddies will be listening!!!!!

Just finished listening to the interview and the suprise visit of Sgt Leo, Marion! They gotta have you back to talk about "No Bridge Too Far" I hope. It was good to hear your voice and know that the message about WW2 was going out over the airwaves. Well done.

Colin.

Good morning Colin and good morning Sgt Leo. What an absolute surprise for sure. How wonderful to hear your actual voice for the first time Sgt. We had a lot of fun and it was great to hear your stories too.

I had a great time, but yes, wish we had time tor much more. I think we just scratched the surface!

I am actually listening right now. For it's difficult to get the feel when you're on the other end. So Lee and I poured some coffee and are sitting back...

More in a bit.

Thank you, thank you!

I listen to it very nice....Marion you did good

Hey Ralph! It was nice chatting with you last night prior to the interview. I know it was too late for you to listen live, since you are six hours ahead of us. I appreciate your reply!

For those who missed it - Here's the podcast:

Just wanted to apologize to the 36th Engineers, for at one point during the interview I slipped up and called them a battalion. Sorry boys, my faux pas!

You were great Marion - :clappin: :clappin:

Called in andsaid you were loud and clear on the East Coast - Hop they told you I called

Sgt it was so wonderful to hear your voice for the first time. I've had several people let me know how much they enjoyed the two of us, but I will post in another section....

Funny, I sent a note to the 36th yesterday, and guess what, Captain John Fallon never even heard my boo-boo! Well I still feel better for announcing my mistake.

Many people wrote to say they loved hearing Sgt Leo. Me too! One of my Belgium friends said he could listen to him all day. How sweet!!!!

Sarge you made my day. It was SO sweet of you to call in!!!

Sgt, here's a fan from Europe!

Great job Marion! I heard the whole interview while at work this afternoon and particularly enjoyed the phonecall of Sgt Leo of the 79th Division.

Wow, I could just sit there and listen to him for hours!

Tell him he has a fan in Switzerland! I hope he is doing fine.

Kind regards

Gilles
