General Apathy Posted September 21, 2012 Share #5385 Posted September 21, 2012 Mean while back at the beach............... Tides out. Surf's up! Hey guy's this is quite funny I just had a case of deja-vu, back in 1993 when I published ' Doughboy to G.I. ' I set up the name of Norman D. Landing, Publishing and I had a bunch of fictional office workers. There was the office and advertising manager named Sandy Beach Office juniors were Mr Tide & Mr Surf Office typist Mrs Ann Zio So now the characters are listed, my friend Jim Moran ( USMC book author ) was on a trip to the states and he arranged a meeting with the achivist at a very large museum in the states to gather information for a book that he was working on. The archivist recognising Jim to be British related that they held a book by another British author Kennth Lewis and that the book still contained a letter from the publishing company offering the book as a gift to the museum for the information that the author had gathered there, the letter was signed by the manager of the publishing company a Mr Sandy Beach. It was fun of course to have the office juniors because when someone phoned to speak to Mr Tide I could reply ' I'm sorry Tides out at the moment but Surf's in ' :pinch: And then during a number of conversations it was mentioned that I would pass drafts of letters on to the typist Ann Zio for completion. Oh boy was it tiring playing all these parts in the business. I once had the producer of a very popular British television series ( car program now watched in most countries ) phone and ask to speak to Mr Landings, I answered as Mr Lewis, he said he prefered to speak to Mr landings, it took quite some effort to convince him that there was no such person as Mr Norman D. Landings and that it was myself that owned and ran the business. Yes I might be a little crazy, but life has to be fun ken Norman D.

General Apathy Posted September 21, 2012 Share #5393 Posted September 21, 2012 Well, it is wine harvesting season right now, he might be rather busy.

General Apathy Posted September 21, 2012 Share #5394 Posted September 21, 2012 A week and no more reports from Normandy? I hope Ken didn't get stuck in his shoebox, though there is probably enough 65 year old k rations in it to last him for a while. Hi RC, funnily enough that you mention rations I just spent two days with friends assembling a hundred ration packs for the guy's going on this years 2nd Armored trip to Holland September 28th. it's a real pity that the Dutch guy's on the trip hate scotch porridge for breakfast, maybe a couple of days of porridge and no other option should see them appreciate it a little more. :pinch: ken Norman D.

J_Andrews Posted September 21, 2012 Share #5395 Posted September 21, 2012 Nothing to do with French geography, but decades ago while working on exercise scenarios for DOD, I used as names of foreign dignitaries "Desmet Sodak" and "Koko Moind", as suggested by the hometowns of my co-workers, i.e. DeSmet South Dakota, and Kokomo, Indiana. They first appeared in an African scenario, then in a south Asian one. The rest of the story: about 1995 I participated in a US Joint Force Command exercise Former Yugo setting)....and both of the aforementioned world leader villains were alive and well, obstructing truth, justice and the American way.

Ken's not one to just sit around the chateau and do nothing. Jon. Hi Jon, well you know me so well I will have a go at almost anything roof's, gardens, Jeeps, fences, walls, painting, building, digging, construction, destruction and aliens of the female kind given the opportunity. :twothumbup: ken Norman D.
