    Duke may be the only actor to have the following he has, with the deep emotional attachments many of us have. I believe he is unique, No one else like him and I
    still don't understand it completely. I have a lot of respect for many actors, but none draw me back to their movies and lives like Duke does.
    I have read and own more of his books them any other actor doubled. Partly because there have been so many written and new books come out every year,analyzing
    everything about him. We keep reading and buying things hoping to find out something new about him.
    I've stopped at Winterset, would have been there this year but my wife isn't physically able to do that right now. We went to Newport Beach in 1994?, took a tour, saw Dukes last house and all of his previously owned yachts. I loved every minute of it.
    When I can I will visit some of the movie locations in Colorado and later maybe Arizona and California.
    We went to Ireland in 2007 for another reason, but we went to Cong, took the Quiet Man tour, saw the bridge and the train station. Partly just to have been where the Quiet man group was. Reliving many of those scenes where they shot them, on the tour.
    I just purchased a CD of the Quiet man music, we played it the night we received it and I put it in the car and have played most of it again.
    His body of work is so large and so good, with a lot of leading and help from John Ford and of course all the supporting actors,writers,extras etc. A big part of his draw is his patriotism. He went to Harvard? to receive an award that wasn't meant to be an honor. He made fans or at least won the respect of many of the students that day. Many other actors have given him great respect, he really was a real, true, and likeable guy. A little bigger then life.
    My wife has had a physical struggle the last several years, we are Christians and trust in God. So I don't need anyone else to worship. Reading the JWMb has been a welcome diversion.I just respect men who standout in this life and positively influence others,even with all of their flaws.
    This probably needs to posted somewhere else,but it seems like this is a topic we all think about once in awhile.
