Quote from RJCogburn

Wow, this is a great site.

I like the westerns most, and True Grit (of course) my favorite...at least my favorite character.

Found this place via the youtube True Grit offering.

Welcome to the best John Wayne site on the web! Enjoy your stay and visit us frequently, as we all know something or another of value.

Glad to see you here Rooster and hope to read many-a-post from ya.

PS, give my regards to the General. ;-))

Howdy Folks! I'm right in the mist of doing something, when this e-mail came in from www.dukewayne.com which says it was Dec. '06 when I
first somehow logged in. I'm 79 now and you must take into consideration my age and forgetting how to reciprocate when asked "where you been George"!
Well, for one thing I've been a John Wayne "sidekick" for many years...been to Monument Valley, Utah where many of the best western films have been made and those were all the John Wayne movies. Well, not all were filmed there, but who cares, any movie with him were the greatest. I think I've every movie the Duke was ever in.
Well, I'm a little winded here --- got that from the Duke and too, I've been a photo/journalist for many years as well and did photo work for a couple Hollywood productions as well. But the scenes in Monument Valley were breathless --- go there if you never have and you'll see what I mean.
Well, gotta run --- I hear the Duke calling me --- that is Ermal Williamson (John Wayne look-alike) now with his show at the Owens Theater, Branson, MO with his sidekick, America's Yodeling Sweetheart Paula Cravens.
It's been a joy to leave this message.

Hopefully either I can learn German, you can lean better English, or we can somehow come to a mutual understanding of sorts. But in any case, WELCOME TO THE BEST JOHN WAYNE BOARD OF ALL TIME!.

I hope this translation works out well, as I used a free translator

Hoffentlich entweder ich kann Deutsch, Sie können lehnen besseres Englisch lernen, oder wir können irgendwie zu einem gegenseitigen Verständnis der Sorten kommen. Aber WILLKOMMEN Sie auf jeden Fall HEISST ZUM BESTEN JOHN WAYNE AUSSCHUSS ALLER ZEITEN!.

In so many words, he/she says their English is not so good but that they're a big John Wayne fan. That's good enough for me.

That works for me to, and I found a free translator that works halfway decent although it butchers it to hell.

If I really run into problems, I'll enlist my frau as a translator.

Frau? Frau Farbissinna?

Willkommen zum John Wayne Forum. Wir hoffen, daß Sie sich amüsieren können.

This is my first post and I want to say hi! to all the folks here. So far, lurking and reading are all I do here - great info and fascinating points of view.

I found this site while googling John Wayne one night . . . I was looking for others out there with similar interests and I sure found them.

My favourite John Wayne movies are the westerns... but I'll watch the others if I get the chance. For instance this morning I watched most of the 'Tycoon' on TV.

Why do I like John Wayne and his movies? Mostly because of his no nonsense approach to things...and he's entertaining!

BTW: I have a podcast site where I talk about my favourite John Wayne movies, nothing fancy but it's fun...if you get the chance check it out, I'd sure like to hear from you.
johnwaynemovies.mypodcast.com/index.html

See ya' later.

Welcome aboard DeanO!!

Nice podcast you have there, I listened to both just now. Keep up the good work there.

There was a though of doing a JW specific podcast here at dukewayne.com early on but I haven't the time or interest now to do it.

Cheers,
Kevin
