I have a few other places to look but I have to go to town. Will try tonight. If you find it, let me know, OK? Good old SMOKE, KP KEITH

Quote from Peridot

I read on Wikipedia just now that Leonard Nimoy was supposed to have made an appearance on HGWT. He's not listed with a speaking part to his credit in IMDB. Does anyone out there know if he played an Indian, excuse me, Native American in any episode? I've gone through all the ones I have on DVD and I can't ID him.

Is it true? Have you spotted him hiding behind a rock or on a horse? Do tell, please. I'm a big fan and would love to see him.

HOT and dry. Hope to get a small window unit soon. Boy, will be nice to be cool again! KPKEITH

The Horse Soldiers. KPKEITH So sad about Fred Kennedy, and sure wish Ford could've finished it the way he had planned.

Awww, Robbie. Feel like I lost a piece of my childhood. Hope you are in the arm of the BEST! KP KEITH

Glad we got it all cleared up. In case some of you don't know, Gorch is a really cool guy who knows a whole lot more about some of this stuff than most of us do, LOL. KP KEITH Sit Tall in the Saddle

Well, Keith, don't you have enough to do without having to fix all the inept attempts of a NEWBIE! I WILL have to say that I love you for it. And, for saying this for the world to see, " All done for you, my new found friend!"......I am just totally floored....I should say unbelievably amazed! And, since I am now alone...my parents have died and have my animals to talk to.....oh, they talk back, LOL, it made me cry.......a happy cry...those are good. I have another I want to post. Now, I need to know how? What did I do wrong.....I followed Sue's instructions.

Had yall seen that before? I did a search and didn't find it in your files. Don't want to send something everyone has seen before. I think Folks would love the other one I want to send also.

OK, Out to work with my horse, Carat.........once I feed him his hay, think I will go out around TenPM with my headlamp, do his tricks and ride him for an hour or so. Like I said, I don't sleep much.

Thanks again. Yore a nice feller, Keither HAH, Kp KEITH

[/extendedmedia] Forgot to preview first, sorry. Well, there is a white block there, but no U TUBE. Anybody out there with help? You can PM me or call me at 336 2444342...I have unlimited LD and will call right back. Thanks, DARN, KP KEITH

I know this is really old, but the Dorsey band were favorites of my parents. They were at the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech Dances...also, I believe Clemson when my parents were in college and then after. Dad was at Clemson and helped develop the jitterbug...he could triple time or even slow it down to quarter time! Mom said Dorsey used to get drunk, and Frank who was just barely twenty, I think, took over the orchestra for the rest of the night. They continued to go to any Dorsey dance that was close. Mom always said she seemed to remember "Festus" from somewhere else..........now I know where. Wish she were still alive. Well, I told her about it anyway, last night!~

Quote from The Ringo Kid

I always did like Ken Curtis and enjoy trying to pick him out in some of his earlier movies when played. I had thought that he was the replacement for Frank Sinatra, and had an orchestra. I don't remember when or where that was but I remember hearing soemthing like that in a Documentary I saw about a year or two ago. I THINK the name of that Doc was: "When Cowboys Were King" or I heard about him in something else? I remember the last thing I saw him in before he passed away was an episode of: "In the Heat of the Night." In that episode, you could tell he was very ill. Anyway, when TCM showed the uncut version of The Alamo, it was nice to hear Ken sing to "his" daughter on her birthday.

WOW, that is a SUPER picture of Dick...the very first one. Really makes him look incredibly handsome. Thanks as usual for all the great pics Lasbugas. Are all the ones you post yours? KPKEITH

Here in the foothills of the Blue Ridges it is HOT. Keeps threatening rain, gets all black, huffy and puffy, we get a few drops, it all goes away, and we have to turn on the water for our gardens! Have to fill my Horse's bathtub, (his water pan) every two days instead of every five. Sold my 3 ton central air yesterday....haven't used it in over a year because power went up so much. Need to get a small, high seer window unit.....think I found one with heat also for $100. That will be good in winter also.....won't have to get up four times a night to put wood in the fireplace, LOL! KPKEITH

Quote from Dooley

I think that may well be why I like it so much!
It's a great film and story and also has the Duke in it, rather than a film I like because it has the Duke in it.

By the way, you twisted my arm and I've managed to get my hands on a vintage Island in the Sky poster for the man room!

Oh, LOL, didn't realize YOU were the one that said that! Well, I was right, wasn't I.....just goes to PROVE what a real man he was. A REAL MAN can cry in front of anyone, because he already KNOWS he is a man! KPKEITH
Did you know that Duke thought it was very important to dance well....thought it was a very manly thing....bet he tried to dance like Fonda in Ft. Apache but found he was a bit large for that type of dancing!

Quote from Dooley

Hi Hawkswill, not problem at all. I've sent you a friend link, I think!
Unbelievably I haven't done this before either so lets seen how it goes!

Well, you did it just right Dooley. I sent you a message. Also, didn't "accept" Gortch properly yesterday, so I did today. THANKS, KP KEITH
OFF TOPIC, sorry! Everyone get Islands in the Sky if you haven't seen it. You might find it hard to believe it is Duke........he acts outside of his persona! Just PROVES that he could do it if he wanted to!

Quote from chester7777

My understanding was it was also one of her aunts that had the same name, and it was of American Indian origin. But I'm not positive about the origin.

Chester

There are quite a few Euteva's listed. I have put out a request to find the origin of the name for you! KPKEITH

Quote from Peridot

Today I watched another favourite: The Fifth Bullet, with Ben Johnson. This episode was written by Harry Julian Fink, and for once a frontier woman acted in character. Richard Boone's young son, Peter, appears as Ben Johnson's son. This is one of two appearances Peter Boone made in Have Gun - Will Travel.

Ben Johnson helped Richard Boone improve his riding skills before he auditioned for the role of Paladin. Boone held acting classes during the run of HGWT. Ben Johnson attended them. Boone had a say in the actors who were cast in guest starring roles in the series.

Dorothy Dells in the role of Emmy takes up a weapon in defense of her family. This is one of the few episodes wherein a woman who has taken care of herself for 8 years and raised a son alone acts realistically. Most of the time female characters shriek helplessly and wait to be rescued by men in the manner of women in the Fifties.

Oh, yes, I noticed his expression. That was the first time Paladin realised he was fighting on the wrong side. From that point on he made certain he was aligned with the side of good.

Totally awesome. Did you know that Paladin's on the list of 100 best loved television characters? Still?

Hi Peridot, Thanks muchly for the extra info on Dick Boone. Didn't know that Ben helped him, etc. That will go into the book and you will be noted as the provider! Never liked Dick until I saw him in HGWT, then it took a bit until the character caught on. I watched every single episode that Netflix had, and most a lot more than once. One of my favorites was a dark one that had Paladin taking a sheep herder in by RR, and they stopped in the little town of JODY?...was that it? It was a two parter and Paladin got stomped into the dirt, including crushing his gun hand, (loved when he told the sheriff, this was his profession and he could use his left hand as well as his right)....great episodes. Loved when he got Malaria also and met up with the gypsies, (remember us women just LOVE to look after our heroes when they are hurt). Although, as many times as he was hit on the head, I don't know how he didn't have permanent brain damage!
Another favorite was when Ken Curtis came to town with a half ownership of a swanky "saloon". He was in "Festus" mode. The LOOKS on their faces when he took up the autoharp and played and sang! That was priceless.......the fights were pretty good also. I will look for the Ben Johnson episodes.
By the way, somewhere, someone said they didn't have cable. I got rid of mine when I cut back....too expensive, and I can't get TV reception out here. So, I joined Netflix. You can do a 30 day trial. It is great. A lot can be streamed in or you can pay a little more and have DVDs sent to your house. I keep them for sometimes a month going over and over them. Also,you can buy a box for your TV so you can get the streamed ones there instead of on your computer.
No, didn't know he was on that list but am not surprised AT ALL. You know, he had kind of a Ward Bond type appeal, if you leave off the high falutin' part. He was rough, gravely voice, yet could show great tenderness and compassion. Both laughed very heartily and easily. My, I never thought of that...comparing the two. Amazing what conversation can bring out. What do you think? KP KEITH

Quote from ethanedwards

Yes us two Keith's are now ganging up
so just in case no one is listening to us,
we can at least talk to one another!

Keith, one of the reasons there has not been
an influx of JWMB members joining us on the White O'Morn
project, is mainly due to the fact that,
whilst there are many Duke fans out there
not many, it would appear, are so passionate about The Quiet Man.
After all many Duke fans are maybe just fans of his westerns etc.
I have asked a few times, alas to no avail, for more members to join us.

However Colorado Bob, Chester and myself
have spent many hours off the scenes with many emails
relating to the project, and it is an ongoing thing.

After having talked to Sue, I realize how much work yall have done. I read back where everyone was afraid the project would have to be dropped. That is why I thought my post on Maureen would get yall scrambling to see what Patrick's might be saying.
I am looking down the road here. It is MUCH easier to get outside backer money if your project has tons of LIKES AND members. I have spoken to one here already and asked him to LIKE White of Morn and ask all of his buddies to do the same. As for members, you may not have any, because I do not believe the sign up is working. I tried to join and didn't get anything....last time I looked, I was still not a member. If so, need to get that fixed if I am to go around trying to get members, LOL! So, I want to be a big part of this deal. I have had a great deal of experience with large fundraisers both in golf and in Easter Seals. So USE me! Let's make sure the member sign up is working and I will work on getting you LIKES too. I have over 600 friends on FB....and they have MANY MORE.....we could go from fifty something likes to thousands in no time at all! And I feel sure we will pick up some members along the way. Do they have to be on the JWMB to join? Thanks Keither......., some of the boys that used to work for me fondly called me that....that and KEISTER, LOL.....won't do that to YOU! KPKEITH

Quote from Tabitha

My father was chosen by Ernie Gann to fly in Island In the Sky. He wrote some interesting accounts of making the movie. Is there someone who might be interested in this? I've transcribed his journal into WORD and could attach it if anyone's interested. Let me know.

If you are still around Tabitha, I would be very interested in the account for the research for my book. Thanks KP KEITH

Quote from Dooley

I totally agree Hawkswill, I was really impressed at how good the Duke, the supporting cast and the film where the first time I watched it. It's one of the tensest performances delivered by the Duke in his long career.
Also, a belated welcome to the forum, I'm sure I speak for all on here that it's great to have someone so knowledgeable in our midst. Keep going you'll get to 300 in a blink!

WOW, I learned how to do the reply with the quote! Hooray, baby steps every day, LOL!
Dooley, thanks SO much for your comments on my knowledge. I study and watch commentaries besides the movies themselves a few hours every day and have been for over a year and a half. My theme of interest has changed.....getting to know Pappy Ford and his Troupe did that. But, still am a great Duke and especially Ward fan. It is difficult to pick out the uncrediteds, but it is getting easier as I get to know more of the stunt men, etc. I imagine ChiliBill could really help there, but he hasn't answered my last post to him. Someone mentioned Duke's silly expression on the poster in Islands. Those were the expressions that made me realize he really could and WOULD act outside of his "character". I imagine it took some real courage for him to put those expressions on film for the world to see. But, if I were stranded as he was, (and we all know how he really gets "into" his character's skin), I am sure my face would have shown those same reactions as would anyone's! I think it made him MORE of a Man and therefore SHOULD belong in a man's room! Just my thoughts, LOL. Thanks and congrats again Dooley...Want to be a friend? I am trying to get some....have two already, but feel I can't possibly ask the big guys yet.....have to "prove" myself first, LOL. If you don't, I understand. Anyway, HOORAY for Islands.....a movie I NEVER thought Duke would act in the way he portrayed his character....amazing!
