Welcome aboard dukefan67 nd Happy New Year to you. Glad you found us and look forward to the conversations.

A very big welcome to all the new members in the past few months! I've been busy with college lately, but wanted to extend my welcome. Hi everyone!

Thank you for the warm welcome guys. I certainly don't intend to be a stranger and will post as often as I can.

Hey Y'all, I'm a 67 year old NEW fan at least to this site.
Actually met the Duke at BWI Airport when I was a crash rescue firefighter there in 60's.
I ended here when I was trying to match a movie & location. Pueblo out side
Albuquerque NM.Visited site 5 yrs ago & can't forget. Would like to get movie.
This a pretty nice site without all the negatives you see elsewhere.

Welcome to the site srequestrian67!!

Glad you posted, and hope to see you around this place often.

I'm John from Michigan --

Lifelong Duke fan, and have enjoyed going through this site for a couple of days now. Kudos to those responsible for the upkeep...

Looking forward to talking John Wayne and gaining differing perspectives on his life and times.

Let me post a late welcome to you, MrKadash! Glad you found us, and hope to see more of you in the future!

I am a life long (67 years old) fan of John Wayne having watched his movies with my Dad--very fond memories. I found out about this site through a phone call from members who had read a book of John Wayne quotes that I compiled and edited. Lookng forward to participating ....very excited to begin with this Satuday's event...I hope I'm doing this "Neb ie" entry right! --phimueller

A hearty welcome to both srequestrian67 and phimueller. It's great having two more John Wayne fans join in with the fun. Looking foward to hearing more from the both of you. Don't be shy!

Let me add my WELCOME to all the new members that have joined in the past several days. Maybe this year will start a trend with a lot of new JW fans finding this site and jumping on board.
In any event, the JWMB should become a great place for you new folks to visit and participate. Looking forward to your posts!
Cheers - Jay

Hello I'm new to the site ,but not to JW. He has been my favorite actor most of my life and I have about 120 of his movies on tape.

Hi I'm a longtime JW fan, I have many of his movies on DVD and watch at least one a week.

Welcome to both QuirtEvans, and DUKE 1948,

Glad you found us here, and I hope to see a lot more your guys in the future. We have a great bunch of folks here, that are informative and friendly.

Aloha, I may be new to this site and until today the subject in general of POSTING anything ever to an on-line forum but that underscores how serious a fan of Duke I am. And have been since earliest childhood. In short...I cannot recall a time that I wasn`t. I grew up on the Iowa side of the delightful MidWest population center known as the Quad ( Also Quint at times but who is counting?) Cities USA! I saw many of JW`s first run movies ( I can`t bend my speech to say FILMS ! YUK!!) in grand old majestic huge theaters just blocks inland of the mighty Mississippi..on huge screens as they were shot to be viewed. Hatari and The Alamo stand out the most. I left there @ 30 yrs of age for the Pacific NW only to learn Duke liked to come up to Seattle and sail around Puget Sound. McQ country. Also south near California on Oregon`s Rogue River for Rooster Cogburn and the Lady. Then in 1996 I left for the Big Island of Hawaii where I learnt he really liked the Isles of Aloha ( a little understood fact is: many others do and have as well!) and made a few movies over there too. I used to look for locations while island hopping and found a few good ones. Then I left for the US Mainland on Sept 1 2006 where I bought a new Class A Motor home and began doing laps of the country. I am parked for this current winter in a RESORT RV PARK on the Western aspect of Tucson, Az. I am about a 15 minute motorcycle ride from yet again another JW favorite place to shoot which is "Old Tucson" a place Duke helped make a successful economic come-back when he agreed to be in Rio Bravo which Producer/Director Howard Hawks made out there. Duke made &/or shot a couple of more out there including McLintock! before he started using Durango Mexico as his special place to shoot Westerns.
And finally...I went back to Iowa for a THANKSGIVING family and friend re-union in 1986. I took my son, named ETHAN, TO SEE HIS GREAT-GRANDPARENTS..ON THE WAY BACK, we stopped in Winterset, IA so I could show him the BirthPlace. So one can say with some confidence that when I choose to live some place NEW, it is a safe bet that I must have been influenced to go there in the first place by having seen something I liked of it out/over there in a Duke film along the way sometime.
So...Aloha & now I`m here! howdy Ya`ll.
