    Hi,
    I am a new user to this board. My wife and I are very lucky to to live in work in two locations that were frequented by the Duke during his lifetime.
    In the summer, we live and work at Big Lake, Arizona, not too far from where John Wayne owned and operated a cattle ranch in Eagar, Arizona.Rick, the owner of the boat renatl concession at the lake, has stories and pictures of John Wayne fishing and camping at the lake.
    In the winter we live and work at the Triangle T Guest Ranch, in Dragoon, Arizona. The place where John Wayne stayed during the filming of several movies which were filmed at the ranch and at other locations in Texas Canyon. He had his own cabin built on the ranch, and we have restored it. It is available for guests to stay in.
    The first movie that we know of which was filmed here with the Duke was 'West of the Divide'.
    Anyone with more information is welcome to contact me and help me to piece together more of the history of the ranch.(please)

    Bryan,


    WELCOME to the Original John Wayne Message Board!! As far as we are concerned, it is the finest, friendliest message board anywhere, dedicated to our man, John Wayne. We have a very knowledgeable membership base, on all things John Wayne (and that knowledge extends far beyond that, to all areas of life!).


    How exciting to have you join us! And how exciting to you, to live and work in locations that have a direct connection to Duke! We would love to hear any stories you can share. You might want to be in touch with ChiliBill (user name William T Brooks), who was an extra in some of Duke's movies in the late forties, and who has extensive knowledge of the 26 Bar Ranch in Eagar.


    Again . . . Welcome to you, and we look forward to getting to know you better in the days and weeks to come!

    Hello trianglet

    Welcome I am sure I am not the only onelLooking forward to seeing some of those pictures and reading those stories you mentioned.

    Be who you are & say what you feel Because those who mind dont matter & those who matter dont mind

    We're new to your Forum and look forward to participating and also learning. Before we moved to CA Jack moonlited in security at Old Tucson from the Pima County Sheriff's Office during the filming of "Rio Bravo" and later when I worked as an "extra" in McLintock. We'd look forward to seeing postings here from anyone else who has worked on any of the John Wayne sets.

    Hello Jan and Jack - Welcome to our band of happy campers. Thank you for posting those pictures and stories. We now have someone besides Chilibill who appeared in a John Wayne movie which is great!

    Cheers - Jay:beer:
    "Not hardly!!!"

    Hello, Jay, DukeFan, Arthur, Ethan, and SXViper . . .


    . . . and thank you for the Welcome!


    Being new to Forums in general we'll be stumbling 'round getting used to your Format but so far are humbled by all the friendliness and helpfulness we see in your postings. Will add some profile as we get adjusted.


    Some photos I've uploaded of 'extra' work are on an expanded website here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/jannb8/westerns
    Will post this website link on the Profile page as the photos are of Western films we've worked in at Old Tucson & Mescal but not exclusively John Wayne related.


    Thank you again for the Welcome. Will look forward to learning from all of you!
