I posted a thread several days ago regarding the letter I got from Alice and Paul Knudson (39th Combat Eng). Well Alice was kind enough to give my name, number, etc. to some of the remaining guys from the unit and I got to speak with a gentleman today named David Wagner.
He is going to send me a history of the 39th and it is approximately 45 pages long. Won't that be a fine addition to my collection? I can't wait. He is also sending me a personal story regarding Anzio.
As soon as I get them I of course will work full-tilt boogy to get them uploaded to the site so I can share them with all of you.
David told me that there are only about nine of them left and that is why I've had such a hard time getting in touch with anyone from the 39th CE. They are having their last reunion this fall in Missouri over the Labor Day weekend and invited me down. I don't know if I will be able to make it that weekend, but I sure appreciate the invite and will see what I can do.
Stay tuned. The hits just keep on comin'...
