    Hi

    I chose mine because it was drawn especially for me by an artist that I used to work with. I still have the original and I know that I have the only copy in the world.

    I chose the one I have to change things up a bit and also because Gregory Peck is one of my all-time most favorite actors. I plan on changing the Peck as Captn Horatio Hornblower pic for a Sir John Mills pic with him in either The Colditz Story or of him as the Corp in Dunkirk-if a pic can be found?

    My avatar is a one of a kind pastel of Duke that was presented to him when he and Ethan opened the mine ride at Knott's Berry Farm in California. It is a large pastel, the likeness is perfect.

    It also has a bit more history behind it. It was done by Anna Bell, she and her husband Claude Bell owned the original portrait studio at Knott's Berry Farm. Claude was famous for making ALL the fiberglass people around the park. He was also the one who made the Cabazon Dinosaurs off Route 10 in California.

    Mine is a little different. It is from Sons of Katie Elder and John (Duke) is reading the inscription from his Mom's Bible.
    Just special to me having a picture of Duke reading the Bible.
