The Duke

[miss marmelstein]

Thanks for posting. I was recently at the New York auction house that is showcasing some of the Duke's costumes and personal items. Got to meet his son, Patrick Wayne.

There are several freepers who do not like John Wayne. I hope this post reaches some of them.

To the doubters: he was one of America's finest film actors. Don't believe me? Watch “The Searchers,” in particular the scene in which he watches the women who have been driven mad after being rescued from the Comanches.

I have a family member who is related to the Morrison's. He has compiled a huge amount of data and photo's on Ancestry.com

Wedding pictures, children etc.are all magnificent! Wish that I could share, but I'm only allowed to edit.

The Duke was and continues to be one of my heroes. He finally won an Oscar late in his career for True Grit. I don't remember him winning three.

**“My mom and my uncle were there when he came. So there’s no question about whether or not he was baptized. He wanted to become baptized and become Catholic,” Fr. Muñoz said. “It was wonderful to see him come to the faith and to leave that witness for our whole family.”**

BTTT for The Duke!
