Plans For August!
By Mitch Berg
One of the highlights of the summer for me last year was interviewing “Doc” Pepping, one of the original “Toccoa Boys” from Steven Ambrose’s Band of Brothers, on the NARN one weekend. It was among the best hours I’ve ever spent on the radio. As a memento, he gave me a copy of Band of Brothers that the publisher and the Ambrose estate had allowed him to annotate with his own experiences, photography and observations – a rare honor in the publishing world; it has a treasured place on my bookshelf today.
What could possibly be better?
Being able to announce that Doc is scheduled to be back on the show this August. He’s going to be back in town, promoting “Vettes for Vets” and “Honor the Fallen”, again. He’s one of the best interviews there is, and I for one can hardly wait!
Stay tuned!
(Yeah, I’m stoked).

Could I see that book sometime? I’ll sit at your reading table and wear linen gloves.
My paperback of Ambrose’s book is getting pretty worn, and I loved the HBO series. I’d like to see the notes from someone who wasn’t featured so much.

I loved the series as well.
Congratulations, Mitch, on a fabulous ‘get’. Well done!
