Hi. My name's Allen and I'm very glad to be a part of this forum. My father was a huge John Wayne fan and got me into his films at a tender age. True Grit and The Green Berets are two of my favorites, and I actually grew up in Newport Beach on the same street just a few doors down from the man himself.
I currently work for a company called The Golden Closet that sells Hollywood memorabilia and have personally handled more quite a few items that belonged to or were worn by John Wayne and have had contact with people that got to work with him on productions. Pretty exciting stuff.
So feel free to say hello. Very glad to be a member here!
and the Mrs.
