Handsome gent. 35 years old, it says in the notice. I wonder if he volunteered.

I think I understand a little more about WHY there was a baby boom ....

[Tax-chick]

Thanks. I thought it was probable, given his age.

[Tax-chick]

Lots of good information at the link. He had the same B-Western background as John Wayne, but didn’t get the big break.

“Every life is a story,” as they used to say on the History Channel Biography series.

[Brother Cracker]

Clayton Moore and John Wayne.

[Tax-chick]

And several other familiar faces, if not names.

Can’t see their feet: was Clayton Moore really taller than John Wayne, or is he on a step?

Thanks. I’d have recognized more of them with better focus, at least Chuck Connors.

Obviously Moore was on a step!

Ann Sheridan and those doe eyes.

My, my. (Sigh)

Ann Sheridan and those doe eyes.

This doe has a certain vampish quality.
