    Thanks Bill, I'll be in touch.

    Cheers :cool: Hondo

    Boy, Chester you are brave! I guess being 2000 miles you do have that flexibility. :wink_smile:

    Well, if you know Alabama, and the greater Huntsville area, you know for one thing that I am over 150 miles away being in the greater Montgomery area. Huntsville is in the Tennessee Valley not far from the state of Tennesse (within 20 miles). The area is generally know to be very conserverative in all aspects. It is very technology orientative with the space program and military. So, not knowing this man, you may think of him in the general area himself, but the only difference would be that you say he is a journalist. Well, I must say that he has a very big strike against him from the get go.

    Seems that the conservative population is in war with the media. Why, well, not to get off topic, let's just say they don't have the same beliefs as conservatives. (ot)

    My comment was only to read what people think about Duke. No matter what anyone and I mean anyone says about John Wayne, I know who he is and I know the kind of man he is. He was not perfect. So what. Who is? :dribble:Alright, Bill Clinton is. :vomit:

    It must be interesting to see why people write about a man who has been gone for 33 years as a threat to their plans and have that kind of fear. My gosh :omg:, some of his children are deceased. What do they fear? They fear that with people like John Wayne, who stand for decencey and love for this country and the people. They can't handle that. All we need is Love. John Wayne gave us that. It is written here. I've read it for over 9 years now on this message board. As for the book. I want to be angry and mortified with what he says, because that just confirms that Duke is still a threat to their plans. And I like making them miserible with Duke, Stewart, Gable, Grant, Heston, Cooper, Cagney, Reagan, and many others. So let them write their books and see where they go.

    Hey Bill,

    I'm not judging anything about Duke. so I like to read all I can about him. I find this interesting, so keeping an open mind, I like to read this book before passing judgement.

    I know you have so many experiences on your life with John Wayne. Have you ever considered writing about Duke, yourself. I bet you have many great stories that can be compiled into a book, and I know it would be great. You shared so much here on this site. So much, you could have written several books.

    What do you think?

    Cheers :cool: Hondo

    Mike,

    Looking into the U.S. book data base, we are getting the same result. I have never seen this book myself. Interesting that no author is listed except Biographiq, which is also the publisher. I see it only has 52 pages here in the states, so it looks like a short book. The price here is $9.99. Seems a little high for so little a book.

    Maybe someone else can enlighten you with more information.

    Cheers :cool: Hondo ~ Mike

    I have purchased three Duke books, and have two of them on hand right now. I have The Duke - A Life in Pictures & John Wayne My Father. They look great, and I am suppose to get My Life With the Duke anytime now. I look forward to reading these books. I know there are other books out there, but wanted these books for my collection.

    You know Arthur you're right about that book. :huh: I'm not sure why it was put out as a release in March. I was looking around and saw this listed. :) I talked about this book before, and completely forgot about the title. :blink: Could this be an update edition to be released? :o


    Sorry for the misconception. :stunned:


    Cheers, Hondo B)

    Steve,


    I haven't read all his books, but the one I really liked with very adequate bio on Duke is: John Wayne: American by Randy Roberts & James S. Olson ISBN 0029238374.


    A list of movies from Duke is: The Complete Films of John Wayne by Mark Ricci, Boris Zmijewsky, & Steve Zmijewsky. ISBN 0806509457.


    Go to this site and get a very good list from itdo on the books of John Wayne. http://www.dukewayne.com/showthread.php?t=497
