Gotta love my husband's creative mind and sense of humor...The other day I was preparing to send a few DVD's to the guys with the 16 existing minutes of the documentary. As I placed them in their protective envelopes, hubby turned to me and said, "You know you should change the name of your documentary to, 'No Bridge So Far', until it's finished!" I just about rolled on the floor. Clever boy!

Could you send a dvd copy to my buddy Mr. Medina, Marion? He was doing quite well and took a break from sanding his drywall to speak to me at Christmas. He was trying to finish his drywall job before company showed up but had time to share a few stories about Cassino and the Vosages. I understand why he likes Southern California.

Roque,

Joe Medina was on my Dad's machine gun crew at Cassino. They were together from Fort Rielly Kansas in the Cav, to Africa to Italy and Germany.Joe told me that Cassino was pretty rough and he remembers going through alot of rounds there with their little .30. they were attached to the 36th ID at the time.

I mentioned you Rocky to him and told him about you being the president of the 34th. I could give you his address if you would like to write. He doesnt have a computer but I'm sure he would like to talk .

I never can pass up an opportunity to post a picture. Here is Medina Stephens and Howe

Thanks Twobisquit-Marion-Brooke msg. recvd.-- Twobis----- will try after 9pm on phone

Alert the oleboy for a call with a funny No. Rocky

Twobisquit----Talked to Joe last night, 9:15 pm C.S.T. He is 3 yrs. younger

than me. Kinda hard to hear him on cell ph. Had a REAL NICE chat. Next

time I might ask him If I can go there for some Tacos or Burritos. He said

it was 60 deg. there, I told him 24 in K.C. And yes we talked about

Cassino and Anzio. His outfit joined the 36th I.D. after the Rapido River

crossing. He knew that we,(34th I.D.) had more than 600 days of combat.

Thanks again for getting two old warhorses together eventho it was

by phone. Rocky

Rocky,

I'm glad you enjoyed talking to Joe. I have thought for awhile that the two of you had quite a bit in common. That weather out there sure sounded good. He got a pretty good chuckle when I told him we had a balmy 35 degrees yesterday, since he was hoping it would warm up a little more there. Those folks in California have it tough.

Maybe between the two of you guys I can get a good green chile recipe.

Chris
