About 20 minutes from my house is John Wayne Marina.
“....John Wayne was a frequent visitor to Sequim Bay aboard the family yacht, the “Wild Goose.” John Wayne was struck by the pristine natural elegance of Sequim Bay and believed it was the perfect location for a marina. An ideal destination for water adventurers, the marina stands on land donated by the late film star in 1975.”
I think that is where I will celebrate his birthday. If the weather permits, I’ll be on the bay in my boat. It’s also a great place to bring in Dungeness crab. ;>)
I went in the gift shop at the marina years ago and got a coffee cup with his picture on one side, and the other side says.

Sequim, WA
It’s my favorite coffee cup. I think I’ll start off on his birthday by watching one of my all time favorites “The Searchers”, then “Red River”, then “The Quite Man”. Maybe end the evening with his last movie and also one of his best “The Shootist”.
