Mike, We have no way of knowing anything more about it, as all the People that had anything to Do With It are Long Gone ! I do have a Friend that is a F.B.I. Agent, and I am going to see if He can tell me anymore about it ?

Mike,
In 1970 at the Cattle sales at the 26 Bar Ranch after Duke had become a Mason in Tucson, I was told this Story by Sen. Barry Goldwater, that had been a Friend of my family for many years, long before He become Sen. Goldwater from Arizona.

Sen. Goldwater was one of Duke's Best Friends, and said that He tried to get Duke to except Protection from the U.S. Govenment but Duke said No He would take care of it Himself !!!

I have a Old Book Called "The Film Of John Wayne" But the Last Film they have in the Book is "Rio Lobo !"

The Book is By Mark Ricci, Boris Zmijewsky and Steve Zmijewsky. Does any One know anything about this Book and the People that Wrote it ?

I think You Guys are Spinning You Wheels on all of these Books, If you want to Know about Duke, in His Last 7 Years of His Life, Read Pat Stacy's Book "Duke a Love Story" and Find Out What Duke Was Like at the End of His Life,, and that was the Way It Was !!!

I have read just about all the Books on Duke, and many of them were done by people that got their Information from some one or heard the story from some one else and very little Info. that they Lived them Self.

My favorites Books would be by some one that Knew or Lived with the Duke, like Pilar, Duke's Captain of His Boat The Wild Goose Bert Minshall, Maureen O'Hara that had stories about Duke and Ford in Her Book.

My Favorite is Pat Stacy's Book " Duke A Love Story" because She Tells you things about Duke that Most People Would Not Know, because She was His Secretary and Sweetheart for the last 7 Years Of Duke's Life and said that She Loved Him.
