You all need to come over sometime so I can invite you up to my John Wayne Room. Wonder why I call it that?? Yup,
you guessed it! Best thing about the Duke...he was a GREAT
AMERICAN! My God rest his soul!

Well, Duke, if you ever get this way just let me know. Also,
bring your gear as lawbreakersandpeacemakers will put you to work in some kind of re-enactment! My JW Room is a work in progress...my wife just shakes her head and thinks I'm a little off! Ha! I love it though! Hey! Did you see the Duke astride my 1100 Shadow ACE Tourer in my pictures? Check it out when you get the time.

We've got tons Duke movie memorabilia here at the Autry! Let me know if you wanna stop by - I could definitely cut a deal for the True Westers. Best, Julia at the Autry

Although he is called the Duke he is still the king

He still grosses more dollars than many live actors - and he should! I just recorded Brannigan in HD just to watch it again.

I'm pretty sure that repeated viewing of "The Sands of Iwo Jima" led to my enlistment in the Marine Corps. It's still a pretty good movie, and I like to see the surviving members of the flag raising in that movie.

Oh and I have a friend who was a stuntman years ago, who did horse tricks on some of the Wayne movies. He tells great stories of them all playing Liar's Poker while they waited. Apparently The Duke was very good to all the people on the movie, and not just a "big star".
