Regular readers will recall Fred Machol from my serious of Man In the Hat posts (read down below) . Fred is the loyal Buckeye I met in the 'Shoe and later learned among other things that he was in the room when Eisenhower and others planned the D-Day invasion. I thought of Fred as I wrote yesterday's post, and almost called him to see how he was doing. I wish I had. Fred's daughter emailed me this morning.

Fred had his Veterans hat on again yesterday, as you would imagine. This time it was in a News Video about Fred that was filmed and aired by KHOU TV in Houston. It is a most fascinating interview and includes some never before seen footage Fred shot during the War, and some Buckeye ingenuity to get his papers approved to go home. I don't know how long it will be up but you can view the news clip at Fred Machol News Clip. (When you get station webpage click link to open the files WWII Veteran Remembers ..there is Part 1 and Part 2...It starts with a brief commercial)

Take a peak!
