I have had the pleasure of talking to Mr. Frank Gross in person.
He is a fine man and Marine. He has some good stories to hear.
Quite by surprise he mailed me a copy of his CD. It sounds real good.
Semper Fi Frank and thanks.

Since 1994...I had several Korean war tales published in ...Military Magazine...Marine: Frank Gross liked them and sent me his audio cassette of his Korean War Ballards..it was an inspiring tale of the Chosin Reservoir campaign set to music...as fate would have it by attending 1st Marine Division Association reunions...I met Frank...in person...at the nightly dances at the 1999 reunion in Philadelphia...Frank was urged to sing his famous Marine ballard for the gathering...Frank gave a resounding rendition to all hands in attendance...very inspiring!!
