Just wanted to say hello and share with You fellow fans why I joined. Well Here I go. Or here you go. John Wayne Takes me to my "Happy Place". I just never could get there on my own and the Duke volenteered to take me there. How this came to be (the Duke my guide) is not a long story. Anyway, For now I've decided to save this bit of history in my Extra Space 10X15 for safe keeping. After some time I realized it was easier to Bring Mr Wayne out of eternal rest if I had Things around that made him feel good. This was the beginning of my John W. collection. I value many things in life but have been able to limit my hording to three things. Beer Steins, John Wayne and the third we have been smart enough to keep a secret. Hell yes He knows. I tell him everything. Do you think the Duke would take on such a risky job if he thaught I was holding out on Him. And everyone knows you can't keep a secret from the Duke. Bye for now. Nice to meet ya.

hi motorhead
nicely put and can identify with a lot of what you say. when i was young we always used to watch the john wayne film (and westerns in general) and i loved them but as you grow up life becomes so busy and hectic there s not time for these things. recently though there has been a lot of stress at work with one thing and another and inexplicably i seem to feel jw calming me down and helping me. i had the overwhelming urge to get to know him better through his films so went out and bought "the alamo" - watching it, a warm, happy feeling came over me and i get the same feeling whenever i put a jw film on, almost like he is there in the room with me - hope that doesn t sound too overly sentimental but i feel priviliged to be getting to know john wayne through his films
