Pretty cool. Were you working on the set or something?
The movie was filmed at the set of the Alamo near Del Rio, Texas. The actors would get bored when not filming and befriended many of the locals in the then small town of Del Rio. Andrew Prine and Don "Red" Barry ended up at our house with several of the gaffers and technicians and for a good while we'd all sit around and play board and card games. Andrew and Don took me under their wing and allowed me to come to the set often when they were working. I was 14 years old at the time. They would come to our HS football games and the High School dances. It was a joke because people would come up and they'd sign autographs and several would want mine, having no idea who I was. Andrew McGlaugan(sp), the Director, also had dinner with us several times. I regret that I never got any photographs or autographs from or with Dean Martin, Raquel, Jimmy Stewart, George Kennedy, and any of the cast. Ironic, back in 1984 I worked with Josh McGlaugan, Andrew's son, on the TV series, North And South.
