I'll be a suckacked mule!!! she doing me wrong; and I wont be wrong, listening to this hero crape, being a hero is hard, specially when nobody joints this picture game.

I would like to add two series that I really injoyed in the 70'ies, one being with James Arness, The macahans, the other, The centennial, with David janssen and many others great actors.

My first one,

Lomax: I sure would have got it in the hole if it wasn't for that pink elephant, gazing at me.

Buckman: jeeh, another one who can't hold his liquor.

Hi Arthurarnell, Ringo, Chester.
History teachers got a job to do, pearl harbor rock band and trafalgar battle in London, to my knowledge WW2 is not that long ago, here in France they just celebrated D-day, students in several countries in Europe were asked about WW2 and the outcome was horrific, many didn't know what the D-day was.

In a way I guess that kids are just not interested.

We Danes came to know Lord Nelson from the other side, in 1801 the British fleet under comand of Admiral Sir Hyde parker with Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson sailed for Copenhagen to seize the Danish fleet, since the British were afraid that the neutral Denmark would leave the fleet to France, this led to a large battle that lasted for hours, many dead, the battle ended in a cease-fire, due to Lord Nelson.
In 1805 battle of Trafalgar, and in 1807 British fleet bombardment of Copenhagen.

I say History is great reading.

Well, I just saw this Disney Alamo movie 3 weeks ago, and I was wondering why they executed Davy crockett, that was not the way he died in Dukes Alamo, so for historical facts I got confused.
I understand by some of you that they found him surrounded by dead mexican soldiers, now I do not believe Hollywood very much when it comes to historical facts. In one of my historical books, the text goes like this:
The body of the legendary frontiersman, Colonel Davy Crockett, who had arrived in Texas only a couple of weeks earlier, was found mutilated, surrounded by his companions from Tennessee.

Santa Ana was seized on april 21, and sigened documents that acknowledged the independence of Texas.
Do any of you know if these documents can be seen today, and if, where.
You guys and girls from Texas should know.
Have visited Texas ones and plans to visit again.
By the way, my over all view of this Disney Alamo was, that the special effects were good, Jason Patric as Jim Bowie was not the best choice, I would have liked Dennis Quaid instead. A little disappointing, but watchable.

Thanks Ringo, looking forward to talk Duke with other Duke fans.

Howdy back to all, very nice welcome, Well, itdo-Mr chester & Mrs -arthurarnell-trooper, I'm a european who got the American spirite from John Wayne, he made me love the American way, through westerns, which is what I love the most, I'm a cowboy, and a soldier in the union army, through the re-enactment associaton of the 20th maine. I would also recommend checking out JWFS in England, which issues a journal twice a year on John Wayne, and -itdo- I think the last one was the best. I lived 4 years in England,sunbury on thames & ottershaw close to woking (wonderfull country, and friendly people"love the pubs").
now I live in France next to Disney land paris.
I love the quotes of Duke on Your replies, and Trooper, 15 and hooked on The Duke, was it through the westerns?

Howdy to your all

Larry
