[Redleg Duke]

On May 27, 1973, I earned my nickname. I was XO of a Firing Battery of the Illinois Army National Guard. We were firing at Camp McCoy, WI and the guys were dragging. I had heard the day before that Saturday was the Duke's birthday and casually mentioned to my battery recorder that the men should perk up because it was John Wayne's birthday. He grabbed the telephone and repeated that to all of the guns. From that day on, I was called "The Duke".

God Bless You, John Wayne!

Hi Chode.....I read this today. I had no idea!

Wayne was Freemason, a Master Mason in Marion McDaniel Lodge #56 F&AM, in Tucson. He became a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason and later joined the Al Malaikah Shrine Temple in Anaheim. He became a member of the York Rite.

This poor little fella, gal....will be living far away from us...and THAT’S not fun.

[Chode]

please remember this next time you hear somebody badmouth the Masons... you don't need to defend us, just know inside that The Duke was proud to be a Mason like the rest of us are.
