We used to party with he and Pilar at Catalina all the time back in the 70s.
Spent a lot of time over the years on Balboa Island, my best friend had a home there and one of our neighbors had a home there next to Al Jolson's.
We had a punt with an outboard on it and we painted it with green fluorescent paint so we could cruise Balboa without lights.
They would throw you in prison for using that paint today, it was radium!
What a great story, dale!!! I’ve only met John Wayne once, and that was when he almost ran into me. But a close friend of mine in high school lived next door to him. He had stories of good ole John.

Just to add my 2 cents worth, I once had a guy paint my house and his wife actually carried John Wayne’s urine to the lab.
