Just shows the type of folks that are around,
and sometimes just waiting for you to get a little older and maybe
not quite so with it. They're there waiting in the shadows. -
We posted these shots last August
With kind permission of photographerGary McEwanIf you look in the background you can see one of the female crew
with the coat over her shoulders no doubt ready to pass to Maureen once the scene was shot.Is this Maureen or her stand-in Etta??
or is it Maureen, our friends in Ireland are not sure either!Personally I think it's Maureen

If I didn't know any better, I might think you two Keiths were talking to yourselves.
Yes us two Keith's are now ganging up
so just in case no one is listening to us,
we can at least talk to one another!Keith, one of the reasons there has not been
an influx of JWMB members joining us on the White O'Morn
project, is mainly due to the fact that,
whilst there are many Duke fans out there
not many, it would appear, are so passionate about The Quiet Man.
After all many Duke fans are maybe just fans of his westerns etc.
I have asked a few times, alas to no avail, for more members to join us.However Colorado Bob, Chester and myself
have spent many hours off the scenes with many emails
relating to the project, and it is an ongoing thing. -
Keith,
we have members here who are already involved,
in the restoration of the cottage.Please join us here on our

Hi Romy - I am hoping we can again be friends.
I heard yesterday that Patrick Wayne was ill, but as far as I know Aissa and her daughter Jennifer will still be there. In fact it should be getting under way as I type this.
I will be receiving lots of photos from lots of different sources and I will definitely share them with you all. I am also hoping you have a link to some of your great video montages on Maureen. They were the best and the most professional I have ever seen on the Internet.
June Beck
June thanks for the update,
I am also sorry to hear the news regarding Patrick.
I will extend an official welcome to you

I realise you have posted here before

Cast of The Quiet Man to reunite
By Louise Roseingrave
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011A REUNION of the original cast of The Quiet Man takes place next month
with the arrival of John Wayne’s family in Ireland.Screen legend Maureen O’Hara will welcome her Quiet Man co-star Patrick Wayne, 72, the son of John Wayne, to Glengarriff to collect a prestigious award on his father’s behalf.
The Hollywood star’s daughter Aissa and granddaughter Jennifer are due to fly to Ireland to receive the Maureen O’Hara Foundation Legacy & Excellence Award alongside Patrick on behalf of their father.
Patrick featured in the 1952 movie as a child and the awards event will be the first time in many years that the two cast members will be in Ireland together.
Maureen O'Hara Excellency Awards
About 300 guests are expected to attend the presentation ceremony, which takes place at the Maritime Hotel in Bantry on October 1.
Highlights of John Wayne’s acting career will be presented in a photo montage before his family members are presented with the award on his behalf.
"This is a major coup, it’s the first time in many years that two members of the original cast, Maureen and Patrick will be in Ireland at the same time," Frank McCarthy, chief executive of the Maureen O’Hara Foundation said.
Wayne’s family will spend one week in Ireland, taking in Dublin, West Cork and Ashford and Cong in Co Mayo during their trip.

Is the person in the last photo, Maureen or Etta?

We know the photograph in the field is Maureen
