  • Hard to believe THAT baby turned out to be one of the roughest, toughest most accomplished horseman in the WORLD!. And although I hate to see him as a "bad guy", same as I do Ward...........they both sure were good ones! Love the bit about Peckinpah having to get him drunk to do the wine cellar scene, LOL. Nice to get little tidbits of info from you Paula! Stupid 5 characters........this is WAY more than 5 characters. Try again.


    Happy Birthday SON! KEITH

    God, she reminds me of me! DUKE

  • Here is a picture of Ward in early childhood. Ward was quite ruggedly handsome, much as Son was, until he was about 45 or so, after the accident. =http://s1269.photobucket.com/user/Hawkswill/media/Ward%20Bond/Childwardandparents.jpg.html]


    Here are some quickie pics....in a hurry here. Wrong computer for my good pics, but here is one showing the body my guy had before all the surgeries, months in bed, etc. HUBBA HUBBA! LOL, Keith...LOVE his older movies. But, love him as tough but sentimental Major Seth Adams, also.

  • And Son does to me too;, Paula. Even after the years of sun had taken their toll on his skin.......he was still one of my heroes. YOU DID THAT!. I didn't care much for him until I started watching movies you touted and learned about the way he was. Your talking me into getting his book helped a lot also! He has moved into my top ten, and he is in VERY GOOD COMPANY! Sure wish he and Ward had done a bunch. They could've been co-stars and not had a main star. Saved the studios money and still given the fans a thrill. Have you seen A Guy Named Joe with Spenser and Ward? You have given me so many of Son's, thought I would give you one of Ward's you may not have seen. Ward is in the movie throughout, and.....he doesn't die, LOL!


    Hate it when they kill our favorites off! Here are a few from "Joe". AND YES, Son WAS an adorable baby and toddler. KEITH

  • Mark the 1:6 scale modeler (see his 1:6 model of Ben Johnson as Sergeant Tyree in the She Wore a Yellow Ribbon thread, last page) made me a 1:6 model of Ben as Travis Blue from Wagon Master. Ain't he purty? :)
