Hello. I am very new to message boards and non-work related computer usage in general. I am a die hard John Wayne fan. I own a great deal of memorabilia. I live in Mescal, Arizona so I get to hear alot of Duke stories from a variety of people who claim to have known him. I have an artist that knew him who has done beautiful oil paintings for me. Really captures his eyes. I hang out alot in Tombstone, Old Tucson and Gammon's Gulch. Remember the little boy banging the drum in the funeral procession in Rio Bravo? He has built a western town out here. His father was Duke's bodyguard when he was filming at Old Tucson. Looking forward to chatting about my hero. My latest T-shirt states: I am the Only John Wayne left in this town! and it is true!
