That's great news. I took too long to buy it and now they are very expensive. Thanks for the news, Paul

Thanks for the update Paula.
I still treasure my signed hardback
Same here ordered it and had Dobe sign it about 10 years ago. -
Always wanted my own copy but I had to be satisfied with reading the library copy. Recently I checked it out again and I was mortified when my cat, Jet, chewed the cover! I paid for the damaged book and now I have my own copy at the expense of everyone else in the system. Bad kitty! (He thinks he's a dog.) I feel guilty that no one else will be able to read Dobe's book. It was the only one in the system. I hope it gets reprinted soon so I can donate one to the library as a replacement.

He may not have been included in the In Memoriam on the Oscar telecast but he was on the Emmys.

Companies of Heroes will shortly be re-published in paperback for a very reasonable $16.95 list price, in case anyone still wants a copy for their library.
It will also be available as an e-book for $9.99.

I don't know if this was mentioned and I just missed it but Marilyn Carey died April 25, 2017.
She was 92. -
I don't remember it being posted on here. This is the first time I heard about it. Sad, but she is finally back with her love.

Actor Harry Carey's silent westerns helped launch the career of multi-award winning director John Ford. Carey's son, nicknamed "Dobe" because of the reddish color of his hair, followed his famous father into films launching his career with a starring role in Ford's "Three Godfathers" (1947) with John Wayne. Raised during the Golden Age of Hollywood amongst legends, Dobe married actor/teacher Paul Fix's daughter Marilyn. Paul, of course, was Sheriff Micah on "The Rifleman." Melinda Carey, Dobe and Marilyn's daughter, shared her memories of growing up with cinema legends on A WORD ON WESTERNS.
