Posts from Hondo Duke Lane in thread „Our Coming Out“

  • Our Coming Out

    Nothing special about the name. I picked Hondo Lane for the movie, and I beat out others for Hondo. I always liked the name, and Duke is Duke. So I coined the name for this message board Hondo Duke Lane. When I end a post I most of the time sign off with Hondo, but occasionally use the whole name or my real name.


    Nothing special except that I like to use a name from a John Wayne character. but if you need to know my real name, it's Mike. If you need to know the last name, it's Franklin. Mike is a nickname to Michael my legal name, and I do have a middle name.


    So there is no mystery, I like Hondo, and use it on this site. BTW, when Chester calls me from California, he ask for Hondo (I'm from Alabama). So, there is no story to this. I am a man who wanted to be named in honor of a John Wayne character. It's just something I wanted to call myself while on this board.


    Cheers, Hondo B)

    Roland,


    I somewhat agree with Chester on what he conveyed, and in a way agree with you. I completely trust you and know that you have integrity enough to share more and more personal things with you in terms of a good friend, which I would like to think of you as. I have great frineds on this board like Chester & the Mrs., Smokey, Kevin, Robbie, Chance, dukefan1, baron, Jen, RESAR, stacy, AEC (a.k.a. Amy), arthurarnell, Idaho, JWFan, SXViper, LittleDuke, Araner, Chris Maude, General Sterling Price, Chisum, Viery, and the late BrianB.


    Anyway, what a group of great people, and I didn't even know any of you a year ago. The chat lines are great, and I wish I could go there more ofter. That is the best we can do right now to continue our growth in friendship. I do happen to have a few of your names in memory (real names), and I have been in contact with a few of you with e-mail, and even a phone converstaion with one. I am blessed to know such a group, and love talking about John Wayne, and other related topics. I for one am going to get a picture on the board, mainly for chance for the portrait.


    Have a grand day, and talk to you later.


    Cheers, Mike B)
