I wanted to have this tribute ready for his 101 Birthday,but circumstances beyond my control prevented it,so I saved this for the 29 th Anniversary of his passing.

John Wayne was not only a patriot and hero on the screen,but also in true live.

I hope you all will enjoy this thread.

George Washington McLintock on politics :

Cuthbert H. Humphrey, Governor of our territory, is a cull. Do you know what a cull is, ma'am? A cull is a specimen that is so worthless that you have to cut him out of the herd. Now if all the people in the world were put in one herd, Cuthbert is the one I would throw a rope at.

WooHoo!!!! SandRat!!!
