It's getting pretty strange out there these days. Who knows what they're teaching about the Alamo these days. (Re-writing history, and making it theirstory. Ha,ha)

Hi Ben -

You're right! With all the historical rewrites, who knows what will be the final accepted "truth." The history of the battle of the Alamo has undergone a number of changes over the years, including nods toward "political correctness."
There was a complaint in the papers a few weeks ago (letters to the editor) from someone, not a native Texan, about having to do a "Pledge of Allegiance to Texas" in schools and wondered why a state should have such a thing. Apparently, the writer didn't realize that Texas was a Republic, an independent country unto itself for a few years before it became a state and this pledge is a result of that time.

Cheers - Jay

How long have you been members here and what age group am I addressing. Thanks - Ben

Hi Ben -

You'll find all age groups, guys & gals, from all over the world on this message board, especially from England and Australia, as well as other countries, besides the good ol' U.S. of A.
I am 62 myself, from San Antonio, TX ("Remember the Alamo"). I browsed this message board for about 4 weeks before becoming a member and was really facinated with all the information found here from fans of the Duke. Keep browsing yourself - this board is very enlightening!

Cheers - Jay

Welcome BenFerko to the John Wayne Message Board. Looks like I'm the first to directly congratulate you on becoming a member. I've been a member only since mid-November, but have already had a very enjoyable time here. I'm sure you will also find lots to enlighten you about the Duke and much more besides.

Cheers - Jay

Hi SXViper, chester7777 and Ringo Kid. Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm a FNG (fairly new guy) to this internet business, so I'm kinda feeling my way along as I go.
Chester - I didn't find this site until after the rodeo happened, though I read about it a lot on this site. I've spotted Dean Smith in several of the Duke's movies, especially El Dorado where he is done in by James Caan in the cantina.
Ringo - Yes, I'm familiar with the Antiques Mall - my wife was an avid antiquer until she became bedridden a few years ago, so I visited a lot in the '90s.
I'm looking forward to interrelating with you folks and all the rest. Have a great day.

Hi Everybody -

I'm a newbie, as everybody can see. Can't stay long for now - just to let you know I'm a born and raised and lifelong resident of San Antonio, TX, so the Duke had strong ties here. I understand that another San Antonian was a good friend of Duke's - Big John Hamilton - who appeared in a number of his pictures. I have been looking over this site for a little over a week and found such a lot of fascinating information that I had to register.
Am looking forward to interrelating with the group.
Have a good day all!
