But I am Tired of being only a Lowly Deputy Marshal, I think a Man of My Age and my Service to the cause Should Be A FULL FLEDGED U.S. MARSHAL !!!
I couldn't agree more! You most certainly deserve to be a FULL FLEDGED U.S. Marshal!! You're only 14 posts away!!

smokey, Jay, Mark, Bill, Arthur, Mike, gt, Carl, and Vera,
Thanks for your encouraging words!
We've said it before, and it bears repeating - it's a team effort! Without you guys and gals (and many others not named here), where would we be? Talking to ourselves! And that's nowhere near 4000+ posts. It's a wonderful dialogue that goes on here, on many topics about John Wayne, and other life discussions as well.
We've gained a small window into each other's lives, and many friends from around the world. What a wonderful place to be!!
Chester and the :Mrs. 
Thank you all for your kind comments. It's that type of enthusiasm that keeps this board above all the others - you guys (and gals) ROCK, just a great bunch of kind and friendly folks! We are proud to be a part of this "Duke clan".
All that said, we're here posting #4900.
And now we must toddle off to bed . . . 
Chester and the Mrs.
Maybe we'll see you at 10,000 posts by fall.
Not hardly!
MAYBE 5000 by Fall of '07, and 10,000 by Fall of 2012.

I was busy looking at the last YouTube post I made, and suddenly realized that we were at 4800 posts, so thought we'd check in here.
This is an awesome place to be, with a nice variety of topics and a GREAT variety of "WAYNE-DERFUL" folks to be with!!
Chester and the Mrs.
gt, we didn't even realize it until we checked in to see who was being congratulated in the 4000 post club 
.
Thanks!
Chester and the Mrs.
Good Lord Chester, slow down and let some of us catch up!!!
It seems like everyone is really moving along here the past few weeks, marking milestone after milestone all around. There's so much to respond to, to discuss. Thanks Hondo, gt, Ringo, and Viper, for the kind words!
What a great place to be, what a great bunch of folks to spend time with!
Chester and the Mrs.
Looking forward to 5000 (will the board collapse when you reach that?).
Yikes! I hope not!
Why thank you Hondo! Here we are, 4500.
This is THE place to be for any and all John Wayne fans!
This joint has been jumping this past week, with all kinds of new members every day. What more could you ask for in a message board? Great folks who know plenty about John Wayne, plus all kinds of other stuff, too.
You are ALL great, and we consider it a privilege to be hangin' out with y'all.
Chester and the Mrs.
Vera, Mike, and Carl, thank you for your kind words! We're doin' the best we can, it's a real team effort here! The best part is, we're all having fun together

Hondo, Jay, dukefan1, and gt12pak,
Thanks guys, we appreciate your warm thoughts! I didn't realize we'd passed 4400 until I signed on tonight, and there it was, already at 4405. You just get to postin' away, and it flies by! 
It's great being here with y'all, and we'll see you at the next one.
Chester and the Mrs.
Thanks to ALL of you for being there. Just keep on posting! ! !
Chester and The Mrs
Amazingly, here we are, with a little help from our friends here at the John Wayne Message Board (make that a LOT of help ).
Many thanks to all of you who have continued to be a part of this awesome community of John Wayne fans .
