Ken Ewing.
We shot and prepared "La Manche/The English Channel" so that we were on the road with it in the winter of 2007-08, and in January of '08 we got this very nice note from Ken Ewing.
We met him briefly in front of the War Museum in Bayeux, north coast of Normandie. Ken had made the pilgrimage to Bayeux 12 times by the time we caught up with him and he was happy to reminisce about his time, landing on the beach, in a tank, on the 6th of June, 1944.
He was a great interview, Sturdy, honest, with an endearing sense of humour. He was seamlessly edited into the film, and always went over well with his audience; our audience.
He would have been over 90 years of age in the summer of 2006 when we filmed him for our little travel film; 10 years later, I expect he's passed away. Thank you, Ken. You still travel well. Brilliantly you shine.
