    I think we should all start giving Duke movies to our children and grandchildren for birthday gifts! And maybe even suggesting to them when they open them that we'd love to watch it with them. Watching, The Cowboys, with my grandson's, one at a time, is a memory I will always cherish, and I know they will as well. We must take an active part in keeping our beloved Duke's memory alive and his legend growing.

    Hey Cindy, we are pretty hard cases are'nt we lololol

    But you know that' s exactly how i became a classic Western movie lover, by watching them, but mainly JW of course, with my Dad from the time i could speak i guess, i was so young i dont even remember it, from the late 50's early 60's i guess.

    And being the only daughter in a house of sons i was totally, and very happily brainwashed. We would all sit around the lounge room floor with Dad watching Westerns, great memories, and those happy memories made up part of his eulogy years ago.

    Mum would be tired and have snuck off for an early night maybe, and Dad and the rest of the family enjoyed their time togeather watching the Duke, Jimmy Stewart, and all the rest of the gang, but of course there is no rivalling the great JW is there

    Even in his early 90's he still adored watching his Westerns, and we would take DVD's with us to watch with him, it really was a well trodden and much loved time togeather
