That's a great idea. That would keep it fresh for the ages.

It might be time to do a new poll.

Time to
this thread. If you haven't added yourself to this poll then jump on in and do it. -
Yep. Dinner was a "Man's Man" (can't remember who coined that phrase about Duke). We could use more men like Duke todays.

Hi Elly, Let me welcome you to the site. It's a bit late but wanted to welcome you aboard!
Cheers. -
One of us will have to create a new poll then

no reason to reset the poll, but just every ten years like the census.

Hi.
I'm a new registrant on the board, though a Wayne fan of some fifty years standing. I revered the Duke - though he wasn't aware of it, I "adopted" him as the father I never had (my parents were divorced when I was four or five years old) because his screen persona represented everything a boy wants a father to be, i.e., strength, dignity, courage and integrity.As everyone knows, Big John was also very patriotic and that too is a trait to be admired.
I remember standing in a box office line to see the film "True Grit" (one of my favorite films of all time). I was amazed and rather amused to see that standing in that line with me were not only gray-headed oldsters (John's "base" fans), but also long-haired hippies, kids of all ages and everthing in between. The Duke's appeal was timeless; he appealed to everybody.[/b]
Hello Stumpy,Welcome to the board, I'm glad you found us!!
Yes, his appeal is huge, I think it's more now then ever before. I try to watch atleast one JW movies a week (making sure the kids are around
)
